Anchor C Farm

Anchor C Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Elizabethtown, KY, serves Hardin County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville.

Becki Carpenter and Dennis Carpenter participate in recognized breed associations and follow recommended health screening for their herd. Each animal is registered and tracked with detailed records that include lineage, health testing results, traceability measures, and wellness history. The herd grazes on year-round rotational pastures and relies on locally sourced hay, balanced grain rations, and tailored mineral supplements.

Daily handling in open fields helps calves develop confidence, gentle temperaments, and an early bond with caregivers before turnout to pasture. Seasonal shelters near rolling pastures provide comfortable protection and ample shade during colder months without disrupting herd dynamics or grazing patterns. Veterinary partnerships ensure timely care, vaccination updates, hoof trimming services, and parasite management to support long-term health and productivity. Anchor C Farm’s family heritage shines through steady herd development focused on resilience and adaptability traits valued by family and small producers.
