Scottish Highland Cattle · Menden in the Sauerland

Robust animals,
outdoors on pasture all year round.

A small herd of Scottish Highland cattle – kept in a natural, extensive way, right in the countryside of the Sauerland.

The Herd

Animals with character, farming with heart

On the edge of Menden, in the heart of the Sauerland, our small herd of Scottish Highland cattle lives outdoors on pasture all year round. They are calm, curious animals with the characteristic long coat and striking horns, unfazed by wind and weather.

Species-appropriate, extensive husbandry matters to us: plenty of space, plenty of time and a respectful approach to the animals. They grow up calmly and free of stress within the herd, just as their nature intends. Anyone who has once stood among them quickly understands why this breed captivates so many people.
