Mr Smalls Honey Ranch

Mr Smalls Honey Ranch raises Scottish highland cattle in Chilhowee, MO, Henry County and west central Missouri near Kansas City. Jeanette Purinton has been managing the herd for over a decade with an emphasis on health and temperament, using annual veterinary checks and lineage tracking to maintain breed standards. The cattle graze on rotating pastures around the family farm, with calves socialized from birth to ensure calm handling. This family-run operation is dedicated to preserving the heritage traits of Scottish highland cattle.

The ranch follows a pasture-based system that supports natural foraging behavior, housing provided in a climate-controlled barn during winter months, and water sources monitored for quality. Sustainable grazing practices help maintain soil health and support local ecosystems. Visitors frequently note the cattle’s calm nature during farm tours. The breed’s thick coats serve them well through damp winters and humid summers.
