Cascadia Farms & Vineyards

Cascadia Farms & Vineyards, Scottish Highland cattle, Maryville, TN, Blount County and the Great Smoky Mountains near Knoxville. Debbie Metzger and Robert E. Dahl are a family team with more than a decade of breeding experience. Members of the American Highland Cattle Association, they follow recommended health screenings and genetic evaluations to support a hardy herd.

Their cattle live in spacious paddocks with rotational pasture access and shaded shelters, ensuring low-stress handling and early socialization. The blend of cattle and on-site vineyards promotes diverse forage, which enriches grazing quality and supports soil health. Their commitment extends to sustainable practices like rotational grazing and minimal-input forage management, reflecting a care for both animals and land. Local farmers often note the herd’s calm temperament and strong structural soundness in both show prospects and beef lines. Over the years, they have placed animals with small-scale ranchers and 4-H families who appreciate the breed’s resilience and docile nature.
