Peters Creek Cattle Co.

Peters Creek Cattle Co. is a Scottish highland cattle farm in Peach Bottom, PA, in the Lancaster region near Harrisburg. Jake Vansant emphasizes careful breeding with routine health screening, genetic diversity, and membership in the American Highland Cattle Association.

The herd grazes on open pastures and sheltered barns offer protection through winter, while calves receive daily gentle handling to foster calm temperaments. Current pasture rotation and soil analysis guide targeted mineral supplementation, reflecting a balanced approach to environmental stewardship. Their name honors Peters Creek, where shaded woodlots and rolling fields frame a setting inspired by family farm traditions.

Small-scale homesteads and family farms appreciate the cattle’s steady temperaments and the transparent care woven into every stage of their development. Seasonal calving takes place in early spring on gently sloping pastures, allowing year-round grazing rotations that support animal health and pasture renewal.
