Quicksand Farms

Quicksand Farms raises Scottish Highland cattle in Cumberland, IA, Cass County and the Omaha metro area. The farm follows registry standards and maintains regular health screenings, focusing on genetic and structural soundness.

Calves graze on rotational pastures that support soil health while enjoying consistent daily socialization through hands-on interaction. Each animal is assessed for calm temperament and structural balance, ensuring readiness for both hobby farms and larger operations. New owners often remark on the calves’ ease of handling and adaptability to diverse climates.

Their herd traces back to foundation stock imported from Scotland, renowned for hardy coats and flavorful beef. The farm adheres to sustainable practices with composting, mixed forages and seasonal breeding cycles that respect the land’s natural rhythms. Owner Cory Anstey brings practical experience in regenerative agriculture to maintain a healthy herd that balances tradition with thoughtful stewardship.
