A Lil TLC

Terry Clem and Kathy Clem of A Lil TLC raise Scottish highland cattle in Arlington, VT, Bennington County near Rutland. They participate in regional livestock associations, and their herd undergoes routine health screenings to ensure strong genetics and robust animals.

Animals graze on rolling pastures, where rotational grazing supports healthy land and natural foraging behaviors. Calves are gently handled from birth, forming early bonds that contribute to calm temperaments in mature cattle. As stewards of a heritage breed, they focus on maintaining classic features and quiet dispositions, keeping detailed records of lineage.

Visitors often remark on the quiet farm atmosphere and the clarity of the herd’s lineage records. Their cattle thrive on a balanced diet of pasture grasses and supplemental hay during winter months, sourced from local fields. Biosecurity protocols, including quarantine for new arrivals, help maintain herd health and prevent disease.
