Lazy H

Lazy H, Scottish highland cattle, Hudson, Illinois, operates in McLean County and central Illinois near Bloomington. Owned by Sue Herriott-Hinshaw, the farm has been breeding highland cattle for more than a decade with registrations through the American Highland Cattle Association.

The herd grazes on rotational pasture and calves receive daily hands-on care from birth. Natural foraging is paired with regular health testing to support strong bloodlines and resilient animals. The rolling fields of Lazy H reflect its roots as a family-run farm where calves grow alongside goats and laying hens.

Visitors often note the calm demeanor of the cattle, a testament to the farm’s emphasis on early socialization and slow-paced farming. Each animal undergoes routine hoof trimming and parasite screenings to ensure herd health. Many local homesteaders appreciate the approachable nature of the herd and the owner’s willingness to share knowledge on sustainable grass-based systems.
