Old Souls Farm

Old Souls Farm breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Baker City, OR, serving eastern Oregon near La Grande. Dan Henes has raised livestock for over a decade and maintains registrations with recognized cattle associations, including annual health screenings for breeding stock. The cattle graze on open grassland pastures and managed paddocks, while daily handling helps develop calm temperaments in both mature cows and weaned calves.

Herd records track performance traits, maternal qualities and hardy genetics, reflecting a tradition rooted in sustainable ranching practices. The operation covers ample acreage of rolling hills, with winter feeding plans based on forage preservation rather than intensive grain rations. Prospective owners are invited to tour the farm in small groups to see pasture rotation and calf socialization firsthand. Customers appreciate the farm’s genuine focus on animal welfare and clear breeding criteria, noting both the animals’ gentle nature and solid genetic backgrounds.
