The Highland Cattle Co.

The Highland Cattle Co. raises Scottish highland cattle in Westport, WA, Grays Harbor County and the Olympic Peninsula near Seattle. Gerard Wanechek has bred cattle for over a decade with dedication to breed standards and health testing through recognized registries.

Each calf is raised on pasture with regular handling to encourage calm temperament and adaptability to local climates. The farm’s history as a family operation and attention to natural grazing result in cattle known for hardiness and gentle dispositions. Gerard participates in regional showcases and emphasizes sustainable practices to preserve the breed’s heritage.

Prospective owners appreciate the clear record keeping and the relaxed barnyard atmosphere where livestock thrive. Breeding stock undergoes routine hoof trimming and quarterly veterinary checks to address any health concerns promptly. Animals enjoy access to open shelters and fresh natural mineral supplements year-round to support overall well-being.
