Lavender Highland Ranch

Lavender Highland Ranch is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in New Plymouth, Idaho, Payette County and southwestern Idaho near Boise. Jeff Lavender has been raising cattle for more than ten years and maintains herd health through regular veterinary checkups, disease screening, and membership in the American Highland Cattle Association.

Animals live on open pasture rotated seasonally to promote fresh forage and healthy soil. Seasonal shelters protect livestock during Idaho winters, and each calf is introduced to handlers early for socialization. Nutrition includes locally grown hay and mineral supplements formulated to support both gestation and lactation.

Highland cattle here display traits prized for hardy constitution and gentle temperament, reflecting a focus on balanced genetics over rapid growth. Testimonials often mention calm behaviour and ease of handling, with cattle suitable for both small farms and hobby herds. Breeding selections prioritize structural soundness and longevity, with records tracked through a digital registry for traceability.
