Dtc Farms

Dtc Farms, Scottish Highland cattle, Talala, Oklahoma, lies in Rogers County and northeastern Oklahoma near Tulsa. Darren Riedel has raised Scottish Highland for over a decade, focusing on health screening through routine veterinary checks, documented hoof trimming, and membership in the American Highland Cattle Association. The single-owner ranch has grown from a small family endeavor to a respected name among regional producers.

Feeding emphasizes all-natural forages supplemented with minerals tailored to cattle needs.

A heritage focus preserves the breed’s hardiness and distinctive long hair, reflecting a commitment to resilience over specialized show lines. Their herd management emphasizes low-stress handling and pasture rotation to support sustainable grazing practices.
