Longhorn Ranch

Longhorn Ranch raises Scottish highland cattle in Sweet, ID, in Idaho County near Boise. Jason Johnson has been involved in the breed association for several years and follows recommended health testing protocols for genetic screening and regular veterinary care.

The herd grazes on gently rolling pastures with rotational grazing and access to sheltered loafing areas, and calves are socialized from birth to encourage calm handling. A few animals have earned ribbons at state agricultural shows, reflecting the ranch’s focus on temperament and breed standards. Long-standing family traditions on the property support sustainable pasture management and a measured approach to breeding that values sound structure and longevity.

Daily routines include monitoring pasture health through soil testing and providing mineral supplements tailored to herd needs. Most cattle are raised for breeding stock or specialty grass-fed markets, and purchasers often comment on the even temperaments and consistent growth rates. Careful selection of sire lines aims to enhance natural hardiness suited to regional climate patterns.
