12494 Barrington Court

12494 Barrington Court is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Fort Myers, Florida. The farm has been raising these hardy heritage cattle in Southwest Florida near Naples for more than fifteen years and maintains membership in national Scottish Highland associations, with all breeding stock registered under recognized herd books. Each animal undergoes thorough health screening, including hoof care, genetic and parasitic testing, and regular veterinary checkups to support long-term herd vitality.

Pasture-based management and early calf socialization guide the farm’s care philosophy, with daily turnout on native grasses, shaded paddocks, and secure barn shelter during stormy weather. Owner David Lougee draws on traditional farmstead methods, balancing low-stress handling, rotational grazing, and seasonal breeding cycles to promote natural growth and behavior. The herd is selected for strong structural soundness and a calm temperament, making the cattle well suited for small-scale farms, educational programs, and conservation grazing projects. Visitors often remark on the cattle’s even disposition and healthy condition, which reflect years of careful selection, hands-on husbandry, and a dedication to animal welfare.
