Snowland Livestock

Snowland Livestock, Scottish highland cattle in Chassell, MI, cares for its herd across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula near Marquette. Steven Palosaari has been raising Scottish highland cattle for more than a decade and maintains registrations with national breed associations while conducting routine health checks. Animals graze on rotational pastures and spend winters in spacious barns with straw bedding, reflecting a low-stress handling approach. Calves are born on pasture and receive early socialization with family and local residents, fostering calm temperaments.

The farm operates on sustainable principles rooted in regional farming traditions, and its small herd size allows focused attention on each animal. Honest feedback from local customers often notes the consistent quality of the cattle and the integrity of Snowland Livestock’s practices. Affiliation with the Highland Cattle Society of North America helps ensure adherence to breed standards and promotes ongoing farm education. Documentation of lineage and health records is maintained for every animal, reflecting transparency in breeding history.
