Trigg Farms

Trigg Farms, Scottish Highland cattle, Hawarden, IA in Sioux County near Sioux City. Todd Trigg has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for over two decades, participating in the Highland Cattle Association and conducting annual health screenings.

Each calf is born in pasture-based pastures with access to barn stalls, and they follow a low-stress handling protocol from birth through weaning. Herds graze rotationally across wooded and open fields to support natural foraging and maintain pasture health. In winter, the herd is fed high-quality local hay to maintain condition through colder months.

Trigg Farms blends traditional breeding methods with modern animal welfare standards, and Todd’s commitment to gentle socialization helps calves develop calm temperaments. Regular visits from local veterinarians and an emphasis on traceable lineage reflect a thoughtful approach to quality and transparency. Todd also shares best practices with neighboring farms to support community resilience.
