Modorosa Ranch

Modorosa Ranch, Scottish highland cattle, Canon City, CO, is located in Fremont County, the Arkansas River Valley near Colorado Springs. The ranch has raised Scottish highland cattle for several years and follows breed club guidelines with regular health screenings.

Calves grow in open pasture with shaded shelters and daily interaction to build calm temperaments. Owner Robert A. values a small herd approach that emphasizes gentle handling and soil-friendly grazing practices. Visitors often note the friendly nature of the cattle and the clean barns set against rolling foothills.

Record keeping is detailed, and health records accompany each animal for buyers seeking long-term partners on their land.
