SMH Ranch

SMH Ranch, Scottish highland cattle in Fairfield, ID, is based in Camas County near Boise. With over 15 years of experience, Dennis Stitt is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association and follows a health screening program for core genetic traits and herd wellbeing. Animals graze on pasture rotated seasonally and enjoy daily handling for calm temperament. Calving season runs from late spring through early summer, with calves raised alongside their mothers on open ranges.

The ranch’s emphasis on low-stress management yields cattle with balanced conformation and gentle nature, suited for families and small farms. A recent visitor noted the herd’s approachable disposition and solid muscling. SMH Ranch maintains well-maintained hay barns, natural spring water sources, shade shelters and spacious pens on its high-desert quarter sections. Their commitment to sustainable grazing practices helps preserve local grasslands and supports wildlife habitat.
