Strong Bear River Ranch

Strong Bear River Ranch, Scottish highland cattle, Bear River, Wyoming, is a family-operated ranch nestled in Uinta County and the Bear River Valley near Salt Lake City. Owner Emily Strong has raised Scottish highland cattle for several years with a focus on temperament and hardiness, following guidelines from national breed associations. The herd undergoes regular veterinary health screenings and DNA profiling to ensure genetic stability and to maintain clear lineage records.

Cattle graze on native grasses and receive mineral supplements, with access to sturdy shelters that protect them through Wyoming’s changing seasons. Emphasizing low-stress handling, animals are moved in small family groups and given time to acclimate to human interaction from an early age. Emily combines traditional ranching methods with careful record-keeping, tracking performance and temperament to guide future breeding decisions. Strong Bear River Ranch also collaborates with local producers for pasture management initiatives that support wildlife habitat conservation alongside livestock goals.
