Little Ranch On Mountaintop

Little Ranch On Mountaintop Scottish Highland cattle, Frenchtown, MT, northwestern Montana near Missoula. Kimberli Ann Allen follows recognized health screening protocols, including annual veterinary exams, hoof care, and vaccinations, and adheres to Scottish Highland cattle breed standards in collaboration with regional cattle associations.

The herd grazes on rolling pastures at an elevation of 4,000 feet, where calves grow with regular handling to build their temperament and resilience. Highland cattle thrive in this mountain climate thanks to their thick double coat and natural foraging instincts. Allen is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association and attends annual gatherings to exchange insights with fellow breeders. Housing facilities include weatherproof shelters and access to fresh spring water, reflecting a philosophy that well-kept environments support robust health. With roots dating back to the 1940s on this mountaintop property, the ranch balances traditional ranching with sustainable practices and quiet stewardship of the land.
