Rardin Livestock

Tom Rardin and Bridger Rardin of Rardin Livestock are Scottish Highland cattle breeders in Laramie, Wyoming, raising their herd in Albany County and the Laramie Valley near Cheyenne. They maintain active membership in the American Highland Cattle Association and keep detailed records of pedigrees and health tests following breed guidelines. Their operation combines rotational pasture grazing with close monitoring of herd health to support strong growth and natural resilience. Regular veterinary care and parasite management help them navigate Wyoming’s long winters.

The cattle enjoy daily turnout on fescue-rich grass, and the family prioritizes early socialization to ensure calm temperaments. The rugged landscape around Laramie gives these herds an edge in pasture adaptation, making them well-suited for both new and experienced ranchers. Generations of ranching experience inform the farm’s balanced approach to breeding and animal welfare. Their cattle consistently demonstrate the breed’s hallmark hardiness.
