Pleasant Acres

Pleasant Acres is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Great Bend, KS, serving central Kansas near Wichita. With more than a decade of experience in livestock management, Benton Hrabe follows registry guidelines and conducts regular health testing to screen for hereditary conditions. The operation’s membership in regional cattle associations demonstrates its commitment to responsible breeding standards.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures and receives daily low-stress handling to foster calm temperaments and trust. Its pasture-based setting offers shelter and fresh water throughout the year, while a small barn provides cover during inclement weather and dedicated areas for calf monitoring. Local farmers often remark on the distinctive shaggy coats and gentle nature of these cattle, reflecting a thoughtful approach to husbandry. Detailed pedigree records for each animal are maintained to support informed selection and traceability. Scheduled visits are arranged for agricultural students and local 4-H groups to observe best practices.
