Saddlecreek Highland Cattle Co.

Saddlecreek Highland Cattle Co. raises Scottish Highland cattle in Bloomington, NE, Franklin County and the Platte Valley near Hastings. Sue Hollertz follows registry guidelines and ensures routine veterinary checks, with year-round health screening for herd calves and breeding stock.

The cattle graze open pastures bordered by native grasses, with daily handling that encourages a calm disposition and ease of management. Feeding and shelter reflect a focus on seasonal needs, combining rotational grazing with sturdy loafing sheds to support overall well-being.

Some of their bulls and cows have drawn attention at local fairs for balanced conformation and hardiness, reflecting a steady breeding program. Through attentive care and a rooted appreciation for heritage livestock, this farm maintains cattle suited for both grass-based operations and small-scale homesteads. Breeding pedigrees are recorded to ensure traceability, and several herd sires come from bloodlines known for longevity and ease of calving.
