Foxtail Farmstead LLC

Foxtail Farmstead LLC raises Scottish highland cattle in Bedford, PA, in Bedford County and the Allegheny Mountains near Altoona. This family-run farm owned by Gregory Eberhart follows heritage breed standards and is registered with the national highland cattle registry to support transparent bloodlines and genetic health.

Herd members receive annual veterinary exams and testing for common genetic conditions, and hoof care is scheduled regularly. Cattle graze on rotational pastures enriched with native grasses and have access to a sheltered barn and fresh water in winter. Calves are gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperaments and early human interaction.

A focus on sustainable grassland management and soil health underpins the farm’s approach to animal welfare. Many local buyers and fellow breeders note the farm’s reliability and consistent care as hallmarks of its reputation. The farm occasionally hosts guided tours and workshops on highland cattle husbandry for small-scale farmers.
