Philip C. Lakin is a breeder of Scottish highland cattle in Maynardville, Tennessee. He has been raising cattle for over a decade, is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association and maintains routine health testing for fertility and genetic conditions. Calves are born in spacious pastures and receive hands-on care from birth to support gentle temperaments.

The operation follows a pasture-based model, rotating grazing areas to promote healthy grasslands and reduce stress. Their farm sits amid rolling fields in Union County and the Great Smoky Mountains near Knoxville and reflects a commitment to traditional husbandry paired with modern welfare standards. Families visiting the farm often comment on the cattle’s calm demeanor and sturdy build that reflects careful bloodline preservation.

Regular veterinary assessments and community feedback help refine breeding decisions each year. The cattle graze seasonally outdoors and have access to a well-ventilated barn during winter months.
