Sweet Berry Miniature Cattle Company

Sweet Berry Miniature Cattle Company raises Scottish highland cattle in Centreville, MD, on the Eastern Shore near Annapolis. Crystal Knotts has built a reputation for careful herd selection and participates in national breed registry programs with regular genetic and health testing.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures shaded by mature oak trees along creek banks, while sheltered barns provide a protected space in cooler months. Calves are handled daily to foster calm temperaments and ease of management. Feed blends are adjusted seasonally to support steady growth and reflect the nutritional needs of Scottish highland cattle.

The farm operates on principles passed down through local agricultural partnerships and community co-ops, with an emphasis on sustainable land stewardship. Breeding selections focus on structural soundness and mild dispositions suited to both small farms and homesteads. A recent review highlighted the cattle’s hearty coats and consistent weight gains.
