Valleybrooke Farm

Valleybrooke Farm, Scottish Highland cattle, Pikesville, MD, Baltimore County and the Chesapeake Bay near Baltimore. The farm has bred Highland cattle for more than 20 years with membership in the American Highland Cattle Association and ongoing genetic health screening on all breeding stock.

Herd health protocols include routine hoof trimming, mineral supplementation, regular vaccinations and a biosecurity plan overseen in partnership with a local veterinarian. Calves grow up on rotational pasture that supports healthy grazing and diverse forage access. Daily handling encourages a calm disposition suited to small-scale farming or homestead settings.

Year-round thick winter coats and native-forage finishing practices contribute to consistent grass-fed meat quality and sustainable land management. Gerald W. Berg applies generational knowledge of sustainable agriculture to soil conservation, water management and cycle planning. Reviews praise the consistency of coat quality and the cattle’s gentle temperaments.
