Biggs Highlands

Biggs Highlands, Scottish highland cattle, Seymour, TN, East Tennessee near Knoxville raises small herds with attention to breed standards and heritage traits. The farm is run by Krissy Gaichas, a registered member of the American Highland Cattle Association and practices health screening for genetic disorders. Biggs Highlands has been fostering Scottish highland cattle for over fifteen years, focusing on sustainable practices.

Animals graze on rotational pasture and receive shelter in a climate-controlled barn during winter, while calves are socialized daily to support calm handling. Each animal receives routine hoof trimming and dental checks under veterinary guidance to maintain overall well-being. Feeding programs follow veterinary recommendations with locally sourced hay and mineral supplements.
