Tangletown Farms

Tangletown Farms raises Scottish Highland cattle in Plato, MN, located in Carver County near Minneapolis. Dean Engelmann has been breeding Scottish Highland cattle for more than a decade and holds memberships with the American Highland Cattle Association. The operation follows national breeding standards and schedules regular herd health screenings, including hoof trimming and vaccinations. Herd members graze on rotationally managed pastures and receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments and social bonds.

Calving takes place in hygienic pens with gentle early socialization to ensure calves adapt smoothly to herd life. The farm’s century-old barns and open fields offer shelter and room to explore year-round, complemented by natural forage and mineral supplements. Visitors and new owners often comment on Dean’s willingness to share practical care advice and transparent breeding practices. Tangletown Farms supports balanced nutrition and low-stress interactions to nurture resilient, well-adjusted animals suited for both exhibition and family environments.
