C And E Farm

C And E Farm, Scottish Highland cattle, Quitman, AR, in Cleburne County and central Arkansas near Little Rock. Cindie and Ernie Nowling have raised these hardy cattle for more than a decade, maintaining active membership in the American Highland Cattle Association, following recommended health screening for their herd and arranging annual veterinary exams and genetic testing for known conditions.

The herd grazes on rotating pastures enriched by native grasses, and calves spend early weeks alongside their dams in open field paddocks with access to a shelter barn stocked with hay during cooler months. Socialization is part of daily routines, with young animals handled gently to foster calm temperaments and ease transitions to new pastures or familiar surroundings.

Their family farm uses sustainable grazing methods that support soil health, water conservation and native plant diversity on rolling pastureland. Visitors note the calm nature of the cattle, the striking appearance of their long horns and thick coats, and the thoughtful approach taken in every aspect of care.
