3720 253Rd Ave. Nw

3720 253Rd Ave. Nw, a Scottish highland cattle operation in North Branch, Minnesota, is part of a multi-generation farm in east central Minnesota near Minneapolis. Dale Parson and Pamela Parson have been breeding Scottish highland cattle for more than ten years and maintain membership in a national breed association. Each calf is raised through rotational grazing and socialized from an early age to ensure calm temperaments around families and other animals.

Herd health is monitored through annual veterinary screenings and routine hoof trimming, with facilities designed for comfort and natural behavior. The farm’s timber-framed barn and open fields mirror practices found in the breed’s Scottish homeland. Reviewers note the consistent gentle nature of these cattle and appreciate the breeders’ transparent communication. Visitors often mention the well-kept pastures and the clear insights provided on sustainable grazing methods. Their commitment extends to community learning with occasional workshops that explore the breed’s history and practical care routines.
