1245 Rock Creek

1245 Rock Creek, Scottish Highland cattle, Lafayette, Georgia, northwest Georgia near Chattanooga. Tyler Hobberchalk is committed to preserving the breed’s hardiness and temperament, maintaining herd health through routine testing for common conditions and partnering with local veterinarians for annual evaluations.

The cattle graze on open pastures seeded with native grasses and follow a rotational grazing plan that supports soil health and forage quality. Calves are raised in close contact with their dam and introduced to gentle handling early to build socialization. The farm participates in regional agricultural shows, with several animals earning ribbons for adherence to Scottish Highland standards. Hailing from a lineage of careful breeders, each animal traces back to verified Scottish bloodlines, offering a balance of tradition and adaptability.

Visitors and fellow farmers recognize the farm’s role in local conservation efforts, and the herd contributes to pasture restoration through thoughtful grazing.
