Petch Farms is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Marshall, MI, serving Calhoun County and southwest Michigan near Grand Rapids. Owned and operated by Brian and Jennifer Petch, the farm combines generational ranching knowledge with modern welfare practices. They maintain active registry memberships to promote transparent breeding records.
