Crooked Fence Farm Highlands

Crooked Fence Farm Highlands raises Scottish Highland cattle in Monticello, AR, in Drew County and the Arkansas Delta near Pine Bluff. The farm is run by Thomas L. Welch and is registered with national and regional breed associations. It follows health testing protocols for common cattle conditions throughout each animal’s lifetime and maintains detailed records for every animal.

Its Scottish Highland cattle graze on managed pastures and have access to wooded shelter in summer and sturdy barns during winter. They are socialized from a young age and handled regularly to develop calm temperaments. The farm has participated in regional fairs for several years, and visitors often note the cattle’s distinctive long hair and gentle nature.

This long-established operation emphasizes sustainable land management, heritage breed conservation and attentive animal care under Thomas L. Welch’s oversight. Breeding decisions factor in temperament and adaptability to Arkansas’s seasons.
