Cor Cattle

Cor Cattle is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Lakeland, FL, Polk County and central Florida near Tampa. Owned by Caitlin Ryan, the farm has welcomed these hardy animals for more than a decade under American Highland Cattle Association guidelines, participates in regional breeding programs and maintains regular genetic testing alongside routine veterinary health checks. Each animal grazes on rotational pastures of native grasses, is handled daily to promote calm temperaments and gentle social bonds, and has access to mineral-rich supplements to support hoof and coat health.

Calving takes place on a small-scale operation where newborns receive hands-on care in a sheltered paddock, benefit from monitored nutrition plans and early handling sessions before joining the herd. The farm grounds include open water troughs fed by a natural spring, shaded loafing areas and sturdy shelters to protect horns during seasonal storms. Visitors note the herd’s calm demeanor and thick coats that reflect careful selection for hardiness on Florida’s hot summers and occasional cold snaps. This hands-on approach has guided consistent growth and lasting well-being across each generation of Scottish highland cattle.
