GRASS FED SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CATTLE
Scottish Highlands are a hearty, heritage breed. Having evolved and adapted to the conditions of their native Scotland, they are naturally suited to the climate here in Wisconsin. They do well on hay and other marginal forage such as wooded areas, etc. 100% of their nutritional needs are met by grass or hay and simple mineral supplements. The breed is considered very calm, social, and they are known for their breeding longevity and nurturing mothers. At Lazy I Ranch we breed for health and temperament. Smaller cattle are much more efficient producers and foragers than larger breeds. It is better for the land, the animal, and the farmer to have ten 1,000 lb. animals than five 2,000 pounders on the same acreage.
Our farm plan is constantly evolving. As a result, the “to-do” list never ends. There is always equipment to acquire or upgrade, always something to build or fix. There is always something new to learn, and there are always ways to do things better. Every year we look at the previous year and say “That worked good” or “Darn, that failed miserably”. We live by the rule, “If you don’t fail once in a while, you aren’t trying hard enough.” We are continually learning from our experiences and seeking to improve as we go.
