Braemar Farm

Braemar Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Berkeley Springs, WV, Morgan County and the Eastern Panhandle near Washington, D.C.

Gordon Barrie has raised Scottish highland cattle at Braemar Farm for over a decade, registering his herd with the Highland Cattle Society of North America and following comprehensive health testing protocols for Johne’s disease and bovine tuberculosis. Calves grow up in pasture-based herd groups, receiving early handling and gentle exposure to farm machinery to foster calm temperaments.

They live in a timber-framed barn that provides shelter year-round while allowing freedom to graze on native grasses. The operation honors traditional upland farm practices, drawing on local heritage to guide pasture management and animal care. The farm practices rotational grazing and works closely with a local veterinarian for routine herd health assessments. Several cattle have earned recognition at local heritage breed showcases, and reviews often mention their steady dispositions and sound conformation.
