Texowa Ranch

Texowa Ranch is a breeder of Scottish Highland cattle in Manchester, IA in east-central Iowa near Cedar Rapids. Gail Reinap has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for many seasons, ensuring each animal receives routine health screenings and adheres to pasture-based standards. The herd thrives on rotational grazing across timbered pastures, allowing calves to grow in a calm, social environment sturdy against seasonal changes.

The ranch follows guidelines of the national Highland cattle registry, maintaining complete records for temperament and lineage. Visitors often note the breed’s characteristic long coat and gentle disposition as they wander through the fields alongside family-run facilities. With a focus on balanced nutrition, low-stress handling and clear livestock protocols, Texowa Ranch maintains a reputation for steady ranching practices.

Each winter, their cattle receive heated shelter and custom-foraged feed blends to support calving season. Texowa Ranch engages with local agricultural fairs and educational workshops to share best practices in heritage breed stewardship.
