Perry County Land & Cattle Co.

Perry County Land & Cattle Co., Scottish Highland cattle, Newport, PA, is located in Perry County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. It follows recommended health testing protocols and maintains registrations with national breed associations to support long-term herd integrity.

Calves are born on rotating pastures and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments, and mature animals graze native grasses without routine grain supplementation. Owner William I. Roberts oversees sustainable grazing practices that honor the breed’s mountain heritage and promote soil health. Linebreeding strategies aim to preserve genetic diversity and maternal durability, while evaluations ensure adherence to breed standards without artificial interventions.

The farm’s focus on low-stress husbandry and close monitoring helps cattle adapt to varied climates and seasonal changes. Regular herd reviews and detailed records guide breeding decisions and support the overall well-being of both animals and pastures. Each animal’s health and behavior are documented from birth through maturity to provide transparency in breeding practices.
