Scottish Highland cattle have become social media stars thanks to their shaggy coats, long horns, and surprisingly gentle personalities. But at Mesta Meadows in southeast Missouri, Ed Crowley is doing more than raising photogenic cattle. He and his wife, Terri, have built a working Ozarks ranch where visitors can feed the animals, camp under the stars, learn sustainable farming, and even enjoy sheep’s milk ice cream made right on the property.
Ed Crowley joins Show Me Today to talk about the growing fascination with Highland cattle and how Mesta Meadows has become a hands-on farm experience for families and future farmers alike.
