Roos Highland Cattle

Roos Highland Cattle, Scottish Highland cattle in Carr, Colorado, is located in northwestern Colorado near Grand Junction.

Dave Ross has raised these hardy cattle for several seasons, focusing on bloodlines suited to mountain climates and adhering to breed standards. Herd health is maintained through rotational grazing on native grasses and routine wellness checks coordinated with a local large-animal veterinarian. Calves are socialized early with gentle handling to foster calm temperaments, and all animals have access to open pastures and sheltered loafing areas.

The farm’s heritage of responsible stewardship is evident in its managed pastures and attention to individual animal needs. Ongoing participation in regional agricultural fairs offers insights into herd performance and connects the farm with other Scottish Highland enthusiasts across the state. Animals are acclimated to Colorado’s seasonal shifts, with sturdy shelter and ample forage through winter months. Careful record-keeping ensures that each calf’s lineage, health tests and growth milestones are documented for breeders and enthusiasts.
