Valleyview Farm

Valleyview Farm Scottish Highland cattle, Albert, Kansas, serves Barton County and the Wichita area.

Managed by Troy Schroeder for several years, it follows American Highland Cattle Association guidelines with routine health screening and genetic testing. Its herd grazes on lush mixed grasses and wildflowers across rolling pastures, with sturdy shelters to offer protection in cold winters. Calves are gently handled from birth and introduced to visitors early to build calm temperaments admired by local families and small-scale farmers. Troy maintains detailed records on lineage and performance traits to support breeding goals for lean meat and docile behavior.

A former showcase for county fairs, the farm reflects a blend of historical prairie homesteading and practical livestock management aimed at sustainable pasture systems. Visitors often note the clear water sources and shaded resting spots that contribute to cattle welfare and a serene farm atmosphere.
