Juniper Farm

Juniper Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Terrebonne, Oregon, Jefferson County and central Oregon near Bend. Josh and Melissa Fishburne have guided their herd with standards from regional association programs, and they follow recommended health screenings for calving soundness and herd vitality. They participate in the American Highland Cattle Association to stay current on breeding guidelines. The cattle graze on open pasture with access to shelter along native juniper stands, and calves are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperaments.

Josh and Melissa bring daily care routines at their family-run ranch, where pasture rotation supports soil health, forage diversity, and natural erosion control. Their approach emphasizes low-stress handling and social herd dynamics, and they maintain detailed records to track growth and well-being. This steady commitment has earned positive feedback from local buyers who note the cattle’s docile nature and robust conditioning.
