BK Ranch
BK Ranch, a family-run Scottish Highland cattle operation in Sparta, MO, is located in Christian County and the Ozarks near Springfield. Owner Billy Applegate Jr has rooted the farm in careful selection and maintains registrations with breed associations.
Livestock graze on hardwood pastures and receive daily handling to build steady temperaments and resilience to local climates. Regular year-round health screenings, meticulous hoof care and nutritional plans reflect a hands-on approach to animal well-being. Calves grow alongside their mothers in small herds that allow for natural social patterns.
The ranch’s emphasis on heritage traits and conservation grazing appeals to both seasoned breeders and newcomers looking for steady, long-term stewardship. The ranch traces its roots through three generations, reflecting a deep respect for the breed’s hardy heritage. Careful breeding emphasizes calving ease and docility, with records maintained for each animal’s growth and health milestones.
