Rolling Pony Ranch

Rolling Pony Ranch is raising Scottish Highland cattle in Carrollton, OH, in eastern Ohio’s rolling hills near Canton. Owner Rachel B. Patterson has spent years dedicated to the breed, following registry recommendations and routine veterinary screening to ensure herd vitality. The ranch supports seasonal calving in spring, balancing rotational pasture grazing with supplemental hay and mineral-rich feed through winter months.

Calves spend their first days close to shelter and are introduced to gentle handling early, which helps them grow into calm, sturdy adults. Daily routines include fresh water checks, foot care, and open-range access that reflect the owner’s focus on low-stress stewardship and natural growth. Rolling Pony Ranch’s participation in regional farm showcases highlights the cattle’s hardiness and adaptability in diverse Ohio climates. Visitors often praise the herd’s approachable temperament and the ranch’s attention to environmental stewardship rooted in family tradition. This balanced approach supports a lineage known for longevity and a gentle nature suited to small-scale or homestead systems.
