Highland Manor

Highland Manor, Scottish highland cattle, 16 Rayland, Ohio in Jefferson County and the Appalachian Plateau near Steubenville.

Courtland Stabile has been caring for Scottish highland cattle for over a decade under the American Highland Cattle Association guidelines, and participates in regional shows. All herd sires and dams undergo annual health screenings including foot and eye inspections. Calves are raised in pasture-based systems with daily socialization alongside farm dogs and visiting children. The estate’s rolling pastures and natural spring water offer a low-stress environment year round, complemented by sheltered loafing areas in winter.

Highland Manor emphasizes gentle handling and clear routines to foster calm temperaments. Visitors often note the cattle’s distinctive long horns and thick coats as evidence of careful breeding focus. The farm’s longstanding presence in eastern Ohio reflects a commitment to traditional husbandry and community education about rare heritage breeds.
