Mcleod Highlands Ranch

Mcleod Highlands Ranch offers Scottish highland cattle in Livingston, MT, Park County and the Gallatin Valley near Bozeman. The operation follows recommended health testing protocols and maintains memberships in livestock associations to support strong bloodlines and overall herd health.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures across rolling meadows and receive daily care focused on low-stress handling and early socialization to ensure steady temperaments. Herds are small enough for individualized attention, and calving occurs outdoors to promote natural maternal bonding. Animals have access to natural water sources and sheltered loafing areas year-round, reflecting a commitment to their well-being.

Owner Dan Vollum combines traditional ranching methods with modern sustainable practices to uphold environmental resilience and animal comfort. The herd displays strong horn development and dense coats, traits prized in highland stock. Visitors to the ranch note the calm demeanor and robust conformation of the animals, a testament to attentive breeding and stewardship.
