Our Story
It all began in 2012 with a simple plan to help manage our property. We chose Highland cattle because of their unique beauty and gentle personalities—but it didn't take long for them to become so much more than that.
Over the years, our herd grew through careful breeding, thoughtful genetics, and a genuine love for the breed. When our family moved from California to the beautiful Missouri Ozarks, our Highlands came with us.
Today, Snyder Ranch is built on the same values that started it all: quality over quantity, responsible breeding, honest relationships, and helping every calf find the right home.
From Two Cows in California to Our Home in the Ozarks
Our Herd
Every animal has a story, a personality, and a place in our hearts.
From our herd sire to the newest calves in the pasture, we invite you to get to know the cattle that make Snyder Ranch what it is today.

Cows & Calves
We don't raise a large number of calves each year—and that's intentional.
Our focus has always been on quality, responsible breeding, and giving every calf the best possible start before joining its new family.
