B & R Farms

B & R Farms raises Scottish Highland cattle in Lowndesboro, AL, part of south-central Alabama near Montgomery. Owner Brandon Phillips participates in breed association gatherings, adheres to national guidelines for genetic screening, and follows recommended health screenings to maintain herd well-being.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures across gently rolling fields and are introduced gradually to handling at an early age, which promotes calm temperaments and trust. Vaccinations and routine veterinary assessments are scheduled throughout the year, supporting herd vitality through seasonal changes and reducing stress during transit. Sustainable land management practices help preserve soil health, encourage diverse forage growth, and offer balanced nutrition year-round.

Drawing on regional ranching traditions passed down through his family, Brandon blends time-honored techniques with attentive daily care and modern animal welfare principles. Neighbors often note the herd’s sturdy build, thick winter coats and even temperament during farm visits, reflecting consistent breeding goals.
