Semmler Farm

Semmler Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Jacobson, MN, in Itasca County and the Iron Range near Duluth. The farm has been home to this breed for more than a decade and participates in breed associations with routine health screenings to maintain herd well-being.

Cattle graze on rotating pastures and benefit from low-stress handling that emphasizes natural behaviors and regular socialization. Becky Semmler approaches each calf as part of a family tradition, preserving heritage genetics alongside thoughtful herd management. Visitors and neighbors often remark on the calm temperament and impressive coats of the animals, even during Minnesota’s colder months.

Their feeding program focuses on locally grown hay and mineral supplements tailored to the breed’s needs. Open barn designs allow for shelter while enabling the herd to move freely. Semmler Farm’s cattle have been featured at regional agricultural fairs and livestock showcases, reflecting a steady commitment to breed quality.
