Rackers Farms

Rackers Farms are breeders of Scottish highland cattle in St. Thomas, MO, Miller County near Jefferson City. They have been raising highland cattle for several years in line with breed registry standards, and they conduct regular health screenings for genetic and disease markers. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures with access to sturdy shelters, and calves receive daily handling to support calm temperaments and early socialization.

Several of their animals have earned ribbons at local county fairs, which speaks to careful attention to conformation and herd consistency. Breeding selections prioritize maternal instincts, coat quality and adaptability to Missouri’s seasons. The family-run operation maintains open pastures using sustainable grazing techniques that enrich soil and promote diverse forage. Marc and Meghan Rackers blend traditional farming methods with ongoing learning about animal welfare to foster strong health and longevity. Community partnerships help sustain local feed networks and reinforce their commitment to responsible livestock stewardship.
