Diamond R Cattle Co

Diamond R Cattle Co, Scottish Highland cattle, Gravette, AR, is a family operation in Northwest Arkansas near Fayetteville. It emphasizes herd health with regular veterinary care, routine vaccinations and genetic evaluations, working closely with a local veterinarian on preventive care.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures across multiple fields and enjoy shelter in ventilated barns designed for comfort year-round. Social interaction and gentle handling in open pens are part of daily routines to foster calm temperaments. The farm’s mix of open grassland and shaded woodlands, interspersed with creek-side pastures, provides a varied grazing environment for the herd.

The breeder’s focus on preserving the breed’s signature long horns and thick coats respects the cattle’s hardy lineage and appeals to both homesteaders and small-scale processors. Breeding decisions prioritize genetic diversity and longevity, ensuring robust progeny suited to varied climates. Brandon Rupp maintains detailed records to track lineage and health history for every animal and reviews performance data annually.
