Heartland Haven

Heartland Haven breeds Scottish highland cattle in Oneonta, AL, in north Alabama near Birmingham. Owner Jack Helvin has raised Scottish highland cattle for several years, following breed association guidelines and maintaining routine health screenings for every animal.

Each cow and calf grazes on open pastures bordered by native hardwoods and receives daily socialization to foster calm dispositions and strong herd bonds. Barn facilities offer shelter during winter months while spring through fall turnout supports natural foraging instincts. Mineral-rich feed from local mills is custom blended onsite to support growth, digestive health, and reproductive performance.

The farm’s roots trace back to a family homestead, combining time-honored husbandry with attentive care to promote longevity and hardy genetics. Prospective buyers appreciate the herd’s consistent conformation and the farm’s transparent health records. Many local smallholders praise Heartland Haven’s open communication and flexibility during visits.
