Laughing Tractor Farm

Laughing Tractor Farm is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in New Milton, WV, in Doddridge County and North-Central West Virginia near Morgantown.

Michelle Ryan has been dedicated to Scottish Highland breeding for over ten years, with a focus on breed-standard conformation. She holds membership in national and regional breed associations and adheres to recommended health testing for parent stock. Cattle graze on diverse pastures, moving through a rotational system that supports soil health and nutritional balance.

Daily handling from birth helps calves develop a calm disposition, and winter housing provides straw bedding and protection from the elements. The farm reflects roots in sustainable agriculture and customers appreciate the approachable nature of its livestock. Shaded loafing areas, mineral supplements and locally sourced hay round out a care regimen suited to highland cattle. Regular collaboration with a local large-animal veterinarian ensures herd health and timely care.
