Brackett Family Farms

Brackett Family Farms are Scottish highland cattle breeders in Elizabethtown, KY, Central Kentucky near Louisville. They have been raising Scottish highland cattle for over a decade with registrations through a recognized breed association, and they perform regular veterinary health testing, including routine screenings for common genetic or herd health concerns. Their cattle graze rotationally on diverse pastures supplemented by locally sourced hay, and calves are handled daily in a family-centered environment to foster gentle temperaments and early social skills.

As a multi-generational homestead, the farm draws on family insights to nurture hardy, well-adapted calves that reflect the breed’s resilient character and thick winter coats. Neighbors often comment on the herd’s uniform coat quality and calm demeanor during farm walks or local livestock showcases. The breeders document detailed bloodline records, share insights at regional cattle symposiums and workshops, and maintain a focus on sustainable land management. They collaborate with nearby feed suppliers to ensure balanced rations and healthy weight gains throughout the year.
