JD Land Services, LLC

JD Land Services, LLC breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Denver, CO, on the Front Range near Colorado Springs.

It operates from a family-managed ranch and follows breed association guidelines to preserve the distinct hardiness and gentle nature of Highland cattle. The herd’s health is maintained through regular veterinary care, DNA-based genetic testing and rotational grazing to support nutrition, soil health and strong resilience. Membership in regional cattlemen’s associations aligns its breeding decisions with industry best practices and local conservation efforts.

Its cattle have year-round access to open grasslands and a sheltered barn, and each animal receives daily handling to foster calm temperaments. Owner Justin Descombes draws on Colorado farming traditions, integrating sustainable pasture management, water conservation and hands-on animal care. This balanced approach underscores a commitment to animal welfare, land stewardship and the agricultural heritage of the Front Range region.
