Highland Trails Farm

Highland Trails Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Milam, TX, in Sabine County and East Texas near Lufkin. Mitch Hanning has more than a decade of experience with this hardy heritage breed and follows American Highland Cattle Association guidelines for health screenings. The herd grazes on rotational pastures and benefits from daily hands-on care that promotes calm temperaments and natural foraging behaviors. Each animal undergoes regular veterinary checkups and genetic screening to maintain breed standards and support long-term health.

Born and raised on the property, these cattle come from bloodlines selected for sound structure and gentle dispositions that suit small-scale homesteads. Mitch draws on family traditions of hill country ranching to preserve the breed’s distinctive coat and sturdy build. Visitors often note the farm’s quiet setting and the attentive routines that mirror traditional country management. Highland Trails Farm participates in local agricultural events to share knowledge about grass-fed cattle and sustainable practices.
