Shaggy Hills Ranch

Shaggy Hills Ranch Scottish Highland cattle in Crawford, NE, lies in the Nebraska Panhandle near Scottsbluff. Barton Torbert has overseen breeding for more than a decade, maintains registration with national livestock associations and ensures routine health screening protocols address inherited conditions common to Highland cattle. Each herd grazes on native grasslands with access to sheltered paddocks, and low-stress handling and early socialization help develop a calm, resilient temperament.

This approach yields robust cattle valued for their easygoing nature and hardy constitution in variable weather. Prospective stewards of the land appreciate the ranch's focus on balanced nutrition, clear records and transparent communication during the selection process. On-site facilities include covered feeding stations and a spring-fed pond that contribute to herd health with consistent hydration and shelter year-round.
