R & Sd Ranch

R & Sd Ranch is a breeder of Scottish Highland cattle in Arlington, WA, Snohomish County and the Puget Sound near Seattle. Founded over a decade ago, the ranch participates in national breeder associations and regional cattle guilds, and follows standard health-testing protocols for fertility, genetic disorders and hoof care. Each calf grows up in pasture paddocks where gentle handling and regular exposure to visitors help ensure calm, adaptable temperaments. Living facilities feature sturdy, weatherproof barns and clean water systems, reflecting a care-first approach tied to sustainable grazing.

A four-time county fair champion, each animal is registered with national herd books and benefits from tailored nutrition plans. Visitors describe a serene, family-like atmosphere, noting both the ranch’s scenic views and the cattle’s friendly curiosity. The ranch’s practices emphasize rotational grazing to enhance pasture health and reduce reliance on external feed sources.
