QUARTER SECTION RUN HIGHLANDS
For Sale
Because of our limited land, we have to be extremely selective about which animals stay and which ones we offer for sale. We naturally love and enjoy each one of our animals for their unique personalities and features that they add to the farm making it difficult to decide which animals should stay.
​
I try to keep this section updated but full disclosure, our Facebook Page is the first place I post available animals as it's easier/faster to post there compared to updating the webpage

Merlin the Magician
SFF Merlin the Magician (PV, D) (59,166) came to Iowa from Vermont in the spring of 2023 as a cooperative co-ownership between Quarter Section Run and Mud Ridge Ranch (Red Oak, Iowa) to bring new and excellent genetics to the midwest. He sports family members from notable farms such as Star Lake, Trafalgar, EZ Acres, and Australian farms of Bairnsley and Cruachan. He came to us halter trained and very motivated to do his work.
I've learned bigger isn't always better and the camera can skew my size estimates. Merlin is a BIG boy and unfortunately not all of my ladies will easily stand for him. With a small fold, it is essential that our females breed back efficiently so we have decided to offer Merlin to a fold with larger framed females.
​
He has been a relatively easy keeper minus the fence that was in his way when a female was in heat on the other side. He respects a hot line and pouts if he's swatted on the nose when getting a little too eager for treats. It's always essential to respect all cattle, particularly bulls; however, I have not had any concerns with his temperament. $5500
