Mastrofini Equine & Livestock

Mastrofini Equine & Livestock raises Scottish highland cattle in Rupert, ID, Minidoka County and the Magic Valley near Twin Falls. Its breeding program follows American Highland Cattle Association standards and includes annual health screenings for calving ease and herd vitality. Calves graze on rotational pastures throughout the growing season, and daily gentle handling supports calm temperaments and strong herd bonds.

The farm’s cattle have earned several regional show placings thanks to balanced selection for conformation and hardiness. Mikaila Mastrofini oversees each stage of animal care, from soil-conserving grazing practices to early socialization sessions. It maintains hay meadows and sheltered loafing areas through the colder months, ensuring consistent nutrition and comfort. A local veterinarian notes thorough record keeping and steady weight gains in its herds. A focus on genetic diversity and low-input pasture efficiency reflects a long-term approach to sustainable ranching.
