Schon Boden Farms

Schon Boden Farms, Scottish highland cattle, Osceola, WI, in the St. Croix Valley near Minneapolis. Founded by Cindy Weideman, it has been breeding Scottish highland cattle for over fifteen years under American Highland Cattle Association guidelines and conducts regular health checks on herd members. The herd is DNA profiled for genetic diversity and traceable lineage, reflecting its membership in the American Highland Cattle Association. The farm’s rolling pastures and dedicated birthing pens ensure each calf receives daily care and early social interaction with family and other animals.

The breeding philosophy emphasizes gentle handling and natural grazing patterns to promote sturdy, well-adjusted cattle. The farm often hosts local agriculture gatherings and shares calves with families interested in heritage breeds, offering insight into sustainable farming methods. A long-standing commitment to soil health and rotational grazing supports both animal welfare and the surrounding ecosystem.
