Lost Heart Ranch

Lost Heart Ranch is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in McAllister, MT, in Madison County and Madison Valley near Bozeman. Owner Kevin Krieg follows breed association recommendations for health testing, genetic screening and official registration. Herds graze on mixed grass pastures and receive daily attention with an emphasis on low-stress handling and routine socialization with staff.

The ranch’s remote setting includes open fields and access to mountain spring water, reflecting a long tradition of small-scale family farming. Calves are raised alongside older animals to encourage natural herd behavior and early adaptation to pasture life. Customer reviews note the healthy coats and calm temperaments of their cattle, hallmarks of the ranch’s steady approach to breeding.

Scottish highland cattle are known for hardiness in cold climates, and the ranch’s elevation offers a natural test of resilience. Each animal undergoes regular hoof trimming and parasite control, following sustainable practices that support pasture health.
