Woodriver Highland Farm

Woodriver Highland Farm, Scottish Highland cattle, Shelton, Nebraska, is located in Buffalo County and central Nebraska near Grand Island. Deborah Nelson cares for a herd raised under breed association guidelines for registration and health screenings, focusing on sound structure and calm temperament. The cattle graze on rotational pastures with year-round access to dry lot shelters, and calves are raised with hands-on socialization to ease their transition into farm life.

The farm operates on land that has been in continuous agricultural use for several generations, blending traditional grazing methods with careful herd management. Each calf’s development is tracked through growth and health records, ensuring consistent quality across breeding stock. Visitors note their calm disposition and sturdy build, reflecting the farm’s steady approach to raising Scottish Highland cattle.

Sustainable practices such as rotational grazing, native grass reseeding, and soil monitoring support pasture health and biodiversity.
