Mo-Ne Farms

Mo-Ne Farms, Scottish Highland cattle, Syracuse, MO, Morgan County and central Missouri near Columbia. Jerry Thompson is a family farmer and member of the American Highland Cattle Association who maintains pedigree records, follows registry health guidelines, and participates in educational outreach about the breed.

The herd undergoes regular veterinary screenings and free-choice mineral supplementation to support robust health and temperament. Cattle graze on open pastures using rotational grazing methods that restore soil fertility and support digestive well-being. Calves remain with their dams in a calm, low-stress environment, allowing early socialization with handlers.

Winter housing in well-ventilated barns protects the herd from harsh weather while still allowing access to outdoor yards. The farm’s approach reflects traditional husbandry practices combined with sustainable land management informed by local extension recommendations. This focus on heritage traits ensures cattle with hardy constitutions that mirror the breed’s lasting resilience.
