Three Pepper Farm

Three Pepper Farm Scottish Highland cattle in Hamilton, MT, are bred in northwest Montana near Missoula. Since its founding by Chris Auch, the farm has upheld breed association guidelines and maintains herd health with routine veterinary checks and lineage documentation. Calves are raised on open, rotational pastures that encourage natural foraging and gentle handling, helping each animal develop a calm disposition.

During colder months, cattle have access to a spacious pole barn stocked with quality hay and sheltered loafing areas. The farm’s approach blends time-honored Scottish Highland traditions with a small-scale family operation, giving each animal individual attention. Visitors often note the friendly temperament of the cattle and the visible bond between the herd and its caretakers. All calves receive early socialization with family members and gentle farm dogs, fostering confidence in diverse environments. Natural breeding cycles are observed to support the cattle's reproductive health without hormonal interventions.
