Strawberry Ridge

Strawberry Ridge, Scottish highland cattle, Granville, NY, is located in Washington County and the Adirondack region near Albany. Mark Liebig has more than a decade of experience breeding highland cattle and holds active membership in the American Highland Cattle Association, ensuring strict health testing including genetic screening for common inherited conditions and detailed pedigree records.

The herd grazes on rotational pasture across gently rolling fields, receives daily health checks, and has access to shelters designed to mimic the damp, cool environment of the Scottish highlands. From the first weeks of life, calves undergo gentle halter training and low-stress handling routines that support calm temperaments and aid future transitions. Strawberry Ridge follows breed standard guidelines for horn shape and coat condition, and several animals have placed at regional livestock shows, reflecting the farm’s attention to functional conformation. Neighbors and visitors often comment on the herd’s robust health, the clean water sources on site, and the open layout that encourages natural social behaviors.
