Star Lake Cattle Company

Star Lake Cattle Company, Scottish Highland cattle, Georges Mills, NH, in the Lakes Region near Concord, focuses on heritage bloodlines. Its breeding program follows registry standards and all stock undergoes regular health testing for common bovine conditions. Animals graze on open pastures and receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments suited to both small farms and homesteads.

Established by Daniel Thorne, the farm blends traditional Scottish husbandry with pasture rotation to support animal health and soil stewardship. Calves are socialized early and introduced to farm equipment gradually, which helps reduce stress during handling and transport. The herd size remains modest, allowing for individualized attention and rapid detection of any health concerns.

The cattle’s thick coats and hardy constitution reflect careful culling for traits suited to colder climates. Prospective owners note the consistent vigor of its registered calves and their steady growth under pasture-based care.
