Round Tuit Farm

Round Tuit Farm, Scottish Highland cattle, Austin, Minnesota, serves southeast Minnesota near Rochester. It is a family-run operation registered with national cattle associations and commits to comprehensive health protocols, including routine veterinary screenings, DNA assessments, and genetic evaluations to support herd quality.

Cattle at the farm graze on rotational pastures rich in native forages and enjoy open-air shelters year-round, fostering gentle temperaments and natural growth.

This family-driven practice reflects a dedication to sustainable farming traditions and community values.

Pastures are managed to support native grasses, promoting biodiversity and soil health.

Breeding emphasis lies in structural soundness and maternal qualities, ensuring longevity and ease of calving.
