Raising The Steaks Highlands

Raising The Steaks Highlands, Scottish Highland cattle, Stanwood, WA, Snohomish County and the Puget Sound near Seattle. Bryan Harrison has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for over a decade on this family-owned farm. They are members of the American Highland Cattle Association and follow recommended health screening protocols for BVD and Johne’s disease.

Their cattle graze year-round on rotational pastures designed to foster natural foraging and herd cohesion. Calves grow alongside family activities and visits from local schools help socialize them to gentle handling. Visitors often remark on the animals’ calm temperaments and sturdy build, qualities that thrive in the Pacific Northwest climate.

The farm traces its roots to historic homesteads in the region and blends sustainable practices with a focus on straightforward care. Pasture-raised and winter-housed in open-sided barns, each animal receives daily check-ins and shelter tailored to seasonal needs.
