Great Highland Farm

Great Highland Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Marshville, NC, Union County and the Charlotte area. John Staton has raised Scottish highland cattle for more than a decade and follows American Highland Cattle Association guidelines for health testing and breeding.

The animals graze on open pastures, and pasture rotation supports soil health and varied forage. Calving takes place in roomy barns with constant monitoring, and calves join the herd quickly to learn from older animals.

The farm blends traditional hill country methods with modern welfare practices to maintain sturdy, healthy herds. The farm’s steady stewardship of land and livestock reflects a commitment to natural rhythms and lasting family tradition. Supplemental hay and non-GMO grains are provided during colder months to support steady growth and overall well-being. Routine hoof trimming and veterinary check-ups further uphold herd vitality, nutritional balance, and well-being through every season.
