Coal Valley Highlands

Coal Valley Highlands, Scottish Highland cattle, McCune, KS, southeast Kansas near Pittsburg. They have been raising Scottish Highland cattle for several years and partner with national breed associations to ensure each animal meets breed standards and health guidelines in compliance with recommended vaccination protocols.

All breeding stock undergoes annual veterinary exams at a local large animal clinic, including genetic testing for common hoof and coat conditions. Their herd grazes on open pastures surrounding a forested ridge and rotates across native grasses to support hoof health and nutrition year-round. Newborn calves spend their first weeks in sheltered paddocks with daily handling and gentle exposure to farm sounds to promote a calm temperament.

As a family operation under Kyle and Cortney Neblett they preserve traditional husbandry methods passed down through generations. They share insights at community farm events and lend livestock for educational programs at nearby schools. Visitors often note the relaxed nature of the cattle and the Nebletts’ transparent approach to farm life.
