Kenessa's Highlands

Kenessa’s Highlands are breeders of Scottish highland cattle in Zionsville, PA, eastern Pennsylvania near Allentown. They have over a decade of experience and are members of the American Highland Cattle Association, maintaining herd health through routine veterinary screenings, DNA verification, and annual vaccinations.

Their cattle graze on open pastures with rotational grazing, and calves are handled gently to encourage socialization, while roomy barns offer protection during winter weather. The farm began as a small family venture and has grown with a focus on heritage traits, sustainable land use, and soil health. Animal welfare practices include hoof trimming, parasite control, and access to shade and fresh water year round.

Reviewers often remark on the herd’s calm demeanor and consistent quality across generations. Registry records are kept meticulously, ensuring traceability of each animal’s pedigree back to foundation stock. The owners believe that preserving the breed’s distinctive horns, coat texture and gentle temperament supports both conservation and small-scale beef production.
