West Highland Farms, LLC, Scottish highland cattle, Meeker, CO, serves Rio Blanco County and the western slope near Grand Junction. It has been breeding Scottish highland cattle for more than ten years, adheres to breed association standards and maintains annual health testing for its herd. Pastures rotate seasonally to ensure fresh forage and animals receive daily handling to encourage a calm temperament.

Jerry Belland emphasizes family stewardship and transparent husbandry practices rooted in local ranching traditions. Veterinary oversight and a free-choice mineral program further support herd vitality throughout breeding cycles. Founded on principles of low-impact grazing, the farm integrates rotational systems with native grasses to preserve soil health. Calves remain with their dams through early weaning stages and selected replacement heifers stay on the farm to reinforce genetic consistency.
