Up The Hill Farm

Up The Hill Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Portage, WI, serves Columbia County and central Wisconsin near Madison. Elva T. Grubb has bred Scottish highland cattle for more than ten years and maintains membership in the American Highland Cattle Association. The herd grazes on rotational pastures at W8439 Lock Rd., with regular health screenings and nutritional plans tailored to each stage of growth. Breeding stock undergoes annual veterinary evaluations, including hoof assessments and parasite screenings to support long-term herd health.

Calves are gently handled from birth to encourage calm socialization and resilience to seasonal changes. The farm’s focus on low-stress husbandry reflects its roots in family farming traditions dating back generations. As a small-scale operation, Up The Hill Farm keeps its herd size modest to ensure personalized attention for each animal. Visitors often note the cattle’s relaxed demeanor and the farm’s hands-on approach to animal welfare.
