Jerry Weber is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Ava, MO, in Douglas County and the Ozarks near Springfield. With over a decade of experience, Weber has focused on cattle that meet breed standards recognized by the American Highland Cattle Association.

Animals live in pasture-based herds, and young calves spend their first months on rolling hills with handlers to foster calm temperaments and early socialization. Weber’s farm remains a family operation where rotations on native grasses support natural diets and seasonal breeding cycles. Several of his cattle earned regional show awards, reflecting a balance of traditional traits and gentle handling practices.

Owners in the area appreciate his openness during farm visits and straightforward advice on herd management. Weber participates in local agricultural fairs and contributes to outreach programs that help new breeders navigate best practices. Visitors note the even temperaments of his cattle and the open layout of the pasture, which allows easy observation of animal health.
