Hillside Farms

Hillside Farms, family-run producer of Scottish highland cattle in New Concord, OH, serves Muskingum County and Southeastern Ohio near Columbus. Zac Warehime and Sarah Warehime have managed the herd for more than a decade, maintaining detailed registry records and annual health screenings.

The herd grazes on mixed grass pastures with minimal concentrate, and calves remain with their mothers until weaning to support natural development. Daily handling and barn introductions help stock build a calm demeanor before grazing in larger groups. Their approach emphasizes sustainability and soil health through rotational grazing, cover cropping, and targeted fertilization.

They select breeding animals for structural soundness and maternal ability, aiming for balanced conformation and long-term vigor. Visitors often note the herd’s gentle temperament and sturdy build during informational farm tours. Ongoing partnerships with nearby conservation groups regularly support native grassland restoration on adjacent acres.
