The Christensen Farm

The Christensen Farm Scottish Highland cattle in Osage City, KS, are raised on rolling pastures in Osage County and the Flint Hills near Topeka. Ken Christensen and Christi Christensen are committed to responsible breeding practices and follow herd health programs recommended by regional livestock associations. Calves receive daily handling from birth and graze alongside adult cattle to support natural development and ease of care.

The farm’s mixed-grass pastures and simple barn provide shelter during Kansas weather and encourage grazing patterns suited to the breed’s hardy temperament. A focus on low-stress handling and regular movement between paddocks helps maintain sound hooves and healthy weight levels. Visitors often remark on the calm demeanor and thick coats that reflect the breed’s adaptability to colder months in central Kansas. The Christensens maintain detailed records of lineage and performance to support consistency in conformation and maternal traits. They participate in local agriculture fairs and livestock shows to connect with other breeders and stay current with breed standards.
