Dodd Highlands

Dodd Highlands is home to Scottish Highland cattle in Winfield, AL, and serves Marion County and northwest Alabama near Birmingham. Founded by Vikki Dodd, the operation draws on family experience in livestock care, follows established registry guidelines with regular health testing, and maintains strict biosecurity protocols. Each calf is raised on rotational pasture with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and natural foraging skills. Balanced forage and mineral supplements support sturdy growth without reliance on grain concentrates.

The homestead’s red clay pastures reflect a heritage approach to low-impact grazing and seasonal herd management. Buyers often comment on the cattle’s hardy winter coat and even temperament that suits small and large farm settings alike. Animal welfare standards include early socialization with other livestock and visitors to reinforce the breed’s friendly demeanor. The farm’s respect for traditional husbandry supports strong growth and adaptability without intensive feedlot practices.
