Happy Tails Farm

Happy Tails Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Chillicothe, OH, in Ross County and south-central Ohio near Columbus. Under the care of Audrey Hauswirth, the herd has been developed through careful breeding practices and routine health screenings with a recognized registry.

Calving takes place in open barns with pasture turnout from spring through fall, allowing social groups to form naturally and young cattle to adapt to changing seasons. The farm emphasizes sustainable land management, using rotational grazing to support soil health and maintain lush pastures. Scottish highland cattle at Happy Tails Farm are noted for their hardy coats and docile temperaments, traits that suit both small-scale breeding and family farms. Each cattle group is monitored daily, with adjustments made for nutrition and herd health to ensure stable weight gains and a balanced herd structure. Visitors often comment on the calm atmosphere and close attention given to each animal, reflecting the farm’s hands-on approach to animal care.
