Hawfields Cattle Company

Hawfields Cattle Company is a Scottish highland cattle farm in Mebane, NC, serving Alamance County and the Piedmont Triad near Greensboro. Travis Covington and Sarah Covington have several years of experience breeding cattle and uphold registration with the American Highland Cattle Association along with routine health screenings.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures, and calves benefit from daily handling that encourages gentle temperaments. They oversee each stage of development, from calving to weaning, with daily pasture checks to ensure proper nutrition and early health intervention. In cooler months the cattle have access to heated shelters and locally sourced hay, reinforcing overall well-being. This hands-on philosophy resonates with family farms and grass-fed beef enthusiasts who value transparency in husbandry practices. Visitors note the rolling fields and open layout, reflecting a genuine commitment to animal welfare. The Covingtons engage with regional agricultural communities to share best practices and support emerging small-scale ranchers.
