Vintage Hill Farm

Vintage Hill Farm, Scottish Highland cattle, Franklin, MO, is located in central Missouri near Jefferson City. Owner Jeff Oberhaus brings more than a decade of breeding experience and maintains herd registration with national associations while following recommended health testing.

The farm’s Scottish Highland cattle graze on diverse pastures with mixed grasses and legumes, moving through fenced paddocks each week to preserve plant vigor and soil nutrients. Each animal receives daily handling from a small team, which promotes gentle temperaments and confidence around people. Herd health follows a preventive model with annual veterinary assessments, parasite monitoring and documented vaccination schedules.

Historic oak barns at Vintage Hill Farm date back to the late 1800s and offer sturdy shelter during cold winters or summer storms. The farm maintains a heritage breeding program aimed at preserving chestnut tatters, long hair and the hardy traits prized in Scottish Highland cattle. A neighbor noted the calves’ curious nature and the farm’s consistent care, reflecting Jeff Oberhaus’s commitment to stewardship and animal welfare.
