Franklin Cattle Company

Franklin Cattle Company is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Franklin, TN, serving Williamson County and the Nashville area. Jay Lawson has raised highland cattle for more than two decades and maintains membership in the American Highland Cattle Association. Each calf is raised at pasture with daily handling to encourage calm, steady temperaments.

The farm’s rolling fields are managed with rotational grazing and soil-conscious practices that support animal health and local ecology. Franklin Cattle Company places emphasis on gentle socialization and stress-free weaning to ensure its cattle adapt smoothly to varied farming operations.

All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary examinations, genetic screening and Johne’s disease testing to ensure herd vitality. The farm participates in local agricultural fairs, where visitors can learn about pasture management and highland culture. One reviewer noted the calm nature of the cattle and the clarity of Lawson’s guidance for new breeders.
