Point Pleasant Cattle Company

Point Pleasant Cattle Company raises Scottish highland cattle in Tonica, Illinois, in north-central Illinois near Peoria. Owner Seth King has worked with these cattle for more than a decade and holds membership in the American Highland Cattle Association. All breeding animals undergo routine health screenings and genetic testing to support herd vitality.

The herd grazes on rotated pastures and calves are handled gently from birth to encourage steady growth and a calm disposition. Facilities include a sheltered calving barn and access to open grassland, reflecting a philosophy of steady, low-stress husbandry. A neighbor noted the resilience of the youngstock and the farm’s commitment to natural feeding practices.

Visitors often remark on the farm’s open record-keeping and clear explanations of breeding lines. This combination of careful selection and attentive care contributes to a herd known for long life and gentle temperament.
