Rocking L Ranch

Rocking L Ranch, based in Buckley, Washington, raises miniature Highland cattle with a focus on producing animals at the smallest end of the size spectrum. Owner Chad Lindula first encountered miniature cattle in 2006 and spent years researching and networking before building his own herd, eventually developing a line of micro miniature Scottish Highlands that rank among the smallest of the breed. Buckley sits in the Puyallup River Valley about 35 miles southeast of Tacoma, giving the ranch access to the lush pastureland of the Pacific Northwest foothills.

The program sets itself apart through its use of advanced reproductive technology, including artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and — notably — cloning, which the ranch reports as a first for Highland cattle of any size. These methods allow the program to replicate its most productive animals and consistently work with what it considers its best available genetics. The ranch has also partnered with geneticists, embryologists, veterinarians, and ranchers across the country to develop its breeding approach.

A next-generation family element is present as well: Chad's son Landry is actively involved in day-to-day herd care. Families and landowners searching for miniature highland cattle in Washington state will find that the Rocking L Ranch program has a long track record rooted in small-acreage, sustainable farming practices.
