Toffee Coos Farm

Toffee Coos Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in New Bedford, MA, Bristol County and the South Coast near Providence. Owner Jon Roth follows breed standards and health testing guidelines recognized by industry groups.

The herd grazes on mixed pastures around traditional barns, where young stock enjoys daily handling and calm socialization during mild coastal seasons. Focus on low-stress husbandry and balanced nutrition with locally sourced forage and mineral supplements supports sturdy cattle suited for small-scale farms and homesteads. Many of their cattle have placed at regional shows, reflecting steady temperament and reliable maternal traits.

Small herd size allows detailed attention to each animal’s hoof care, reproductive health, and gentle acclimation to farm routines. This methodical pace has earned praise for producing cattle with hardy constitution that adapt well to grass-fed systems. Regular pasture rotation also promotes plant diversity and soil health, supporting a balanced diet year-round.
