Dry Creek Ranch

Dry Creek Ranch raises Scottish Highland cattle in Doole, TX, in Concho County and the Hill Country near San Angelo. James Scott and Andrea Scott are members of the American Highland Cattle Association and conduct regular health screenings to maintain genetic diversity and herd strength. Their cattle graze native grasses on sprawling pastures, with daily handling to foster calm temperaments and smooth transitions for young stock into broader herds.

The ranch retains a century-old barn that provides shelter during Texas weather extremes, and calves are reared with access to shade and freshwater troughs year-round. Local farmers and homesteaders often praise the consistent hardiness of these cattle and note their adaptability to ranch conditions.

The family emphasizes sustainable grazing techniques to support local ecosystems and passes on ranching knowledge across generations. A second-generation operation, Dry Creek Ranch reflects James and Andrea’s commitment to responsible stewardship and transparent breeding practices.
