Franklin Cattle Co.

Franklin Cattle Co. raises Scottish Highland cattle in Thorn Hill, TN, part of East Tennessee near Knoxville.

Facilities include open shelters, shaded feeding areas, and rotational grazing paddocks that mirror traditional pasture environments through all seasons. The farm, tended by Danny Franklin, reflects a dedication to preserving the breed’s heritage traits through careful selection.

Buyers often note the animals’ sturdy builds, dense coats, and gentle nature when integrating them into small-scale or homestead settings and family farms. Franklin Cattle Co. participates in regional breed gatherings and shares insights on pasture management with fellow enthusiasts.
