Harrisiana

Harrisiana, Scottish Highland cattle in Dandridge, TN, Eastern Tennessee near Knoxville, are family-run breeders with over ten years of experience. They maintain membership in the American Highland Cattle Association and conduct regular herd health testing, including BVD, Johne’s disease, and brucellosis screening. Their herd grazes on fenced pastures managed with rotational grazing schedules that support natural foraging behaviors, soil health, and hoof strength.

Calves receive daily handling from birth, which encourages gentle temperaments, early socialization, and familiarity with routine health checks. The farmstead’s century-old barn offers shelter during inclement weather and reflects the Harris family’s ties to the land. Their cattle often appear at county fairs and regional shows, where judges note consistent conformation, docile behavior, and distinctive horn patterns.

All breeding stock trace back to foundation herds in Scotland, and pedigrees are verified by association records. Seasonal mineral supplementation and winter hay ensure balanced diets throughout the year.
