White Mountain Cattle

White Mountain Cattle is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Filer, ID, in the Magic Valley near Twin Falls. The operation follows American Highland Cattle Association guidelines for herd health, conducts regular genetic testing, and participates in regional livestock health clinics. Their cattle graze on irrigated pasture in rotational paddocks and are socialized from birth to promote calm temperaments.

Michael Hunt runs the family farm with an emphasis on low-stress handling and soil-friendly grazing practices. Calves stay with their mothers for extended periods to support healthy growth and social bonds. They maintain detailed records of lineage and performance to ensure traceability for each animal. Several animals have earned reserve champion titles at regional livestock shows. One customer noted the even temperaments and sturdy build of cattle raised at White Mountain Cattle, reflecting the farm’s steady approach to breeding quality stock.
