Limestone Lane Cattle Co.

Limestone Lane Cattle Co., Scottish Highland cattle, Marion, IA, Linn County near Cedar Rapids, prioritizes health and temperament. Jennifer Horning follows national cattle registry guidelines and oversees brucellosis testing alongside a detailed annual vaccination and parasite control schedule. Detailed herd records track calving ease, weight gain, and adaptability to local seasonal shifts.

Cattle graze rotationally across securely fenced native grass paddocks that promote natural foraging and develop strong hooves. Calves stay with their dams until weaning at eight months, and regular handling encourages a calm manner and straightforward hauling. Onsite facilities include covered feeding stations, open barns, secure corrals, and wash areas that balance shelter with freedom of movement. Sustainable grazing plans support soil health and pasture diversity while maintaining resource efficiency. Selection emphasizes maternal instinct, resilience through cold winters, and the distinctive shaggy coat that defines the breed’s gentle heritage.
