Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

We are a 3rd, 4th, & 5th generation family owned and operated ranch in Decatur County Iowa. The land we work and low was acquired in 1958 by Grandpa Monte Clampitt who believed in one breed of cattle, and they were black.

​

My my did things change in 2018 when a spoiled wife wanted a couple of Scottish highland cows for pets.

​

Grandpa Monte likely rolled over in his grave when those fluffy cows, lovingly name Aria & Williow, hopped off of the trailer and were quickly being halter led while adorned in floral headbands parading around his little bit of heaven that had since been passed to his daughter who then passed it onto her youngest son.

​

His little bit of heaven quickly went from the two fluffy cows, to four, then somehow skyrocketed to 30 and onto 40 plus as calves came and went over the next few years. 

​

Currently, in 2024, we are specializing not only in purebred HHCA registered Scottish Highland cattle, but also miniature High Park cows as well.

Our ranch offers a wide variety of Agri-tourism opportunities for others to enjoy as we love to share this amazing breed of cattle. 

​

We don't just have cows though. we also share this space with horses, chickens, ducks, peacocks, lambs, goats, & bunnies. 

​

You just never know what will show up and call this place home next!

​

For the last few years we have hosted the Farm Girls Flea Market, a 100 plus vendor market smack dab in the middle of our hay field with the cows on site for others to enjoy. 

​

This year, 2024, we are expanding our Agri-tourism to include birthday parties in the barnyard, barnyard yoga, a bunk house for overnight rental, paddle boating, canoeing, private party and event rental, farm tours, markets, painting parties & other family friendly events 

​

We are excited to share this little bit of heaven with you!
