Midway Meadows Farm

Midway Meadows Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Esko, Minnesota, in northeast Minnesota near Duluth.

Jason Paulson keeps detailed lineage records and follows health testing guidelines from the breed registry, participating in association programs to ensure the herd’s well-being. The cattle graze on rotating pastures of mixed grasses and clover, with access to a sturdy shelter barn that offers protection in all seasons. Calves are handled daily from birth, helping them develop confidence and ease around people and forming early bonds that aid in smoother integration into herd management routines.

The farm’s barns feature climate-conscious design that balances fresh air and warmth during Minnesota winters. By focusing on traits like strong maternal instincts and steady temperaments, the farm contributes to a lineage appreciated by farmers seeking low-maintenance, reliable livestock. A compact herd size allows Jason to monitor each animal’s condition closely and adapt care routines to individual needs.
