Hazelbelle Ranch

Hazelbelle Ranch raises Scottish highland cattle in Fair Grove, MO, serving Greene County and the Ozarks near Springfield. David Copeland has bred these hardy cattle for over a decade and follows recognized breed association guidelines with regular health screenings. The herd grazes on rotational pastures where animals receive daily handling to encourage calm temperament and strong social bonds. Shelter is provided in a barn outfitted for comfort during Missouri winters.

The ranch focuses on temperament and resilience, selecting cattle with durable coats and balanced horns that perform well in conservation grazing and small-scale farming. As a family-operated farm, it maintains small herd sizes to ensure individual attention and offers periodic farm days for local livestock enthusiasts. Attention to soil health and pasture diversity supports the well-being of both animals and the land. Biosecurity measures include controlled access and routine vaccinations, and pastures are managed for native grasses to support cattle nutrition and local wildlife.
