Oval M Cattle Co.

Oval M Cattle Co. raises Scottish highland cattle in Winston, MO, south central Missouri near Rolla. The farm has several years of experience working with highland cattle and maintains registration with the American Highland Cattle Association, and follows association guidelines for breeding standards. All breeding stock undergoes routine health screenings to support strong, healthy offspring. Each calf is tracked with individual ear tags and detailed pedigree records to ensure transparency and traceability.

Owner Cassie Martin prioritizes low-stress handling and pasture-based grazing, giving calves daily gentle socialization from birth. The cattle herd benefits from rotational grazing on well-managed fields, while calves spend time in a climate-controlled barn during winter months. Herd members graze on open pastures and shaded paddocks that encourage natural behaviors and robust growth. Some cattle have earned accolades at regional fairs for their distinctive coats and sturdy horns.
