Heart's Cry Ranch

Heart's Cry Ranch raises Scottish highland cattle in Gentry, AR in northwest Arkansas near Fayetteville. Kevin Shook and Kristie Shook have been breeding Scottish highland cattle for over ten years with attention to structural soundness and genetic diversity. They hold memberships in national cattle associations and follow recommended health screening protocols to ensure herd well-being. Their animals graze on managed pastures and calves are socialized from birth with daily gentle handling to foster trust.

As a family-run operation rooted in regional ranching traditions, they maintain detailed records of lineage for traceability. Their approach to low-stress handling yields herds known for calm temperament and hardy constitution. Facilities include open pastures, barn shelter, and secure fencing to support animal comfort and safety year round. They regularly exhibit at local agricultural fairs, where their cattle have earned recognition for breed type and hardiness.
