JTJ Rolling Highland And Shorthorn Acres

JTJ Rolling Highland And Shorthorn Acres raises Scottish highland cattle in Lime Springs, IA, in northeast Iowa near Waterloo. It follows recommended health screening practices with accredited labs, maintains up-to-date vaccination protocols, and participates in regional cattle association activities to stay informed on breed standards.

Calves receive daily handling from birth to support a calm disposition and ease in handling. As a family-run farm, it emphasizes sustainable pasture management, detailed record-keeping that traces each animal’s lineage, and planned rotational schedules that support soil health and forage quality. Jessica Larson brings thoughtful husbandry to every stage, reflecting a long-standing family interest in maintaining the hardiness and distinctive appearance of highland cattle.

Distinctive horn shape and shaggy coats are preserved through careful selection for health and conformation. Animals have constant access to clean water and mineral supplements throughout the year. Open-sided barns and natural shelters help maintain comfort in spring and summer months.
