Flathead Farms

Flathead Farms, Scottish highland cattle in Kalispell, MT, is nestled in Flathead County and the Rocky Mountains near Missoula. Michael Mower has built the operation with membership in a national cattle registry and follows routine health screening protocols to support sound genetics.

Calves are raised alongside their mothers in mixed herds and accustomed to gentle handling from the first week of life. Animals graze on open pasture bordered by native grasses, and covered windbreaks and solar-powered watering stations are in place to ensure comfort through all seasons. The farm uses rotational grazing patterns that mirror natural herds and composted bedding to maintain soil health.

Diets combine locally sourced hay, organic grain from nearby mills, and seasonal mineral blends to match animal needs throughout the year. Youngstock receive careful pasture introduction under attentive supervision, a practice that helps foster steady growth and calm temperaments.
