Lucky Star Farm

Lucky Star Farm Scottish Highland cattle in Woodsboro, MD is located in Frederick County and the Mid-Atlantic near Baltimore. It maintains a focus on herd health with annual veterinary screenings, genetic health tests recommended by breed associations and participation in regional cattle breeder groups.

Its animals graze on rotational pasture and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments and natural foraging behaviors. Barn shelters offer protection in colder months and each calf is socialized from birth to promote strong human-animal bonds.

Founded by Laura and Weston Ritchie, the farm emphasizes sustainable practices and connections with local family farms. One longtime customer notes the gentle nature and consistent quality of the cattle. Pastures are rotated to preserve soil quality, and wildflower strips along fence lines support local pollinators. A small on-site nursery barn ensures calves born in winter stay comfortable and well-monitored.
