Mclaughlin Farm

Mclaughlin Farm, Scottish highland cattle in Jackson, MI, are based in Jackson County and the Great Lakes region near Detroit.

A family-run operation spanning several generations, they have stewarded Scottish highland lines and follow guidelines of the American Highland Cattle Association. They maintain regular veterinary health screenings including blood profiles, periodic ultrasound checks, and parasite monitoring, along with detailed herd records according to industry standards. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures seeded with diverse forage species and receive daily handling to support socialization and robust development.

Calves are born and raised in open-sided barns that provide shelter, ample ventilation, and natural light. Occasional entries at county fairs reflect the owners’ dedication to breed standards and conformation. Mineral and vitamin supplementation is provided year-round to support steady growth and hoof health. Customers often note the calves’ calm demeanor and sound temperament.
