Misty Hills Farm

Misty Hills Farm breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Coopersville, MI, part of West Michigan near Grand Rapids.

Mark Meurer has raised hardy Scottish Highland cattle at the family farm for over a decade, with membership in the American Highland Cattle Association and routine health screenings by local veterinarians. All animals graze on well managed pastures with access to fresh water and shelter, and calves are gently handled from an early age to ensure calm temperaments. A small herd size allows for close attention to nutrition, body condition scoring and seasonal hoof care.

Their approach balances traditional husbandry with soil health practices, and the farm’s low-stress environment supports both animal welfare and land stewardship. Visitors often note the friendly nature of the cattle and the quiet rhythms of pasture life. The farm maintains complete pedigrees for each animal, ensuring transparency in lineage and a history of hardy, easy-calving cows.
