North Star Ranch

North Star Ranch are breeders of Scottish Highland cattle in Comer, GA, northeast Georgia near Athens. Stanislaus and Leanna Talaske apply a blend of traditional husbandry and modern welfare standards in every stage of breeding. They adhere to established health protocols, ensuring each animal receives routine veterinary care and appropriate genetic screenings.

Their small herd size allows for individualized attention, with each calf monitored from birth through weaning. Cattle graze on rotational pastures surrounded by mixed woodlands and open fields, providing varied forage that contributes to a robust coat. The Talaskes focus on temperament as much as physical attributes, selecting breeding pairs based on ease of handling and social compatibility within the herd.

The ranch is located on gently rolling terrain that echoes the breed’s native highland environment, offering an ideal climate for winter resilience. Their commitment to heritage breed conservation and sustainable grazing practices is a defining element of their family-operated farm.
