Highland On The Hill Farm

Highland On The Hill Farm, Scottish highland cattle in Zirconia, NC, serves Henderson County and the Blue Ridge region near Asheville.

Bryan Cate and Jamie Cate have been raising these cattle for several years, maintain detailed lineage records, and follow health protocols including regular veterinary care and genetic screening. Their animals graze on open pastures with access to clean shelters, and calves are handled gently from an early age to build calm temperaments.

The farm’s rolling hills and creekside fields provide varied forage and a stress-free environment for growth and socialization. They support sustainable agriculture through rotational grazing and careful pasture management. Their breeding stock is selected for strong maternal instincts and quality beef conformation. Farm visits allow observers to see herd dynamics and calving routines.
