Mar-Mor Farms

Mar-Mor Farms, Scottish Highland cattle, Bend, OR, Central Oregon near Portland. Margot Barron has raised these rustic, hardy cows for more than a decade and follows breed club health screenings. The herd grazes on open pasture with regular veterinary checks and daily handling to encourage calm temperaments.

Their cattle roam gently rolling fields bordered by juniper and pine, with shelters that offer shade in summer and wind cover in winter. Calves are paired with their dams and join small groups for socialization before weaning. Mar-Mor Farms submits its herd to annual fertility tests and scur inspections that align with American Highland Cattle Association guidelines. The farm’s roots in sustainable pasture management reflect careful attention to forage diversity and soil health. These cattle combine the breed’s signature shaggy coat with a calm nature, a balance noted by local families, artisan cheese makers and small-scale dairies.
