Hale Hole Ranch

Hale Hole Ranch, Scottish highland cattle in Durant, OK, is located in Southeastern Oklahoma near Dallas. They follow American Highland Cattle Association guidelines and maintain routine health screenings for genetic soundness and disease prevention.

The cattle graze on diverse pastures with rotational grazing practices to support natural foraging and soil health. Calves receive early socialization through gentle handling in the family farm setting, and breeding stock lives in open barns that protect from extreme weather.

Drew and Stephanie Hale emphasize temperament and hardiness, leading to docile animals suited for grass-fed operations. The ranch’s approach has earned praise for consistent weight gains and the breed’s distinctive long-hair characteristics. The ranch operates year-round, providing cattle with access to fresh water sources and mineral supplements on pasture. Their herds have contributed to small homesteads and heritage beef programs across the region, reflecting the Hales’ commitment to sustainable agriculture.
