Petch Farms

Petch Farms is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Marshall, MI, serving Calhoun County and southwest Michigan near Grand Rapids. Owned and operated by Brian and Jennifer Petch, the farm combines generational ranching knowledge with modern welfare practices. They maintain active registry memberships to promote transparent breeding records. With years of hands-on experience, they adhere to registry guidelines and conduct routine health screenings to support herd vitality.

Their cattle graze on mixed grasses amid rolling pastures and receive daily interaction to foster calm temperaments and easy handling. Animals are raised in open pasture barns with shaded loafing areas, offering shelter year-round and ample space for natural behaviors. Calving seasons are managed with individual attention to ensure each calf receives proper colostrum intake and early health checks.

Attention to heritage genetics and sustainable pasture management contributes to sturdy, vigorous offspring suited for a variety of farm environments and grazing systems.
