Rocking Flying W

Rocking Flying W, Scottish Highland cattle, New Plymouth, ID, are located in Payette County near Boise. Ben Ward and Jana Ward have raised these gentle cattle for over a decade, maintaining memberships in state livestock associations and conducting regular health screenings for herd wellbeing. The cattle roam on fenced pasture adjacent to the Snake River, where rotational grazing supports grassland health and nutritional balance. They are handled daily from birth to ensure calm temperaments around visitors.

The couple’s focus on sustainable practices extends to natural calving barns and routine hoof trimming under professional guidance. Their small herd size allows close attention to each cow’s health and encourages strong bonds within the herd. Occasional ribbons at local fairs reflect a dedication to breed standards without prioritizing competition over animal welfare. Feedback from neighbors often highlights their respectful stewardship of land and community-minded approach.
