Valley View Farm

Valley View Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Martins Ferry, OH, in Belmont County and the Ohio Valley near Wheeling. Marjorie Kunze has more than fifteen years of experience breeding hardy stock and holds membership in the American Highland Cattle Association, with regular veterinary health screenings. The family-run farm, established in 2008, adheres to recognized practices for genetic diversity, soil conservation, and collaborates with local agricultural extension services.

Animals graze on rotational pastures when weather allows, drink from creek-fed water troughs, and move to sheltered barns during the colder months. Low-stress handling techniques and natural forage-based diets support calm temperaments and robust coats. Valley View Farm participates in county fairs and small-scale exhibitions to share breeding insights and showcase growth. A recent review noted the steady weight gain and gentle nature of the calves, reflecting the farm’s consistent care. Calves are weaned gradually and leave the farm with comprehensive care guides to ensure smooth transitions.
