Spruce Lane Pastures

Spruce Lane Pastures raises Scottish highland cattle in Ixonia, WI, in Jefferson County and southeastern Wisconsin near Milwaukee. The farm follows highland cattle association guidelines and ensures regular veterinary health screenings and parasite management.

Animals graze on open pasture with rotational grazing methods and are handled daily to encourage steady temperaments. Born and raised on a century-old family homestead, the cattle reflect the farm’s commitment to sustainable practices and gentle handling. Owners Marge and Steve Martin draw on their lifelong connection to rural life in Wisconsin, sharing insights on breeding foundations and natural forage diets.

Their gentle nature and adaptability make them well suited for family-run farms and conservation grazing projects. Prospective owners appreciate the detailed guidance on herd health and pasture maintenance provided throughout the animals’ lives. Each calf receives individual attention from birth and follows a natural weaning process to support long-term health.
