Hiraeth Highlands

Hiraeth Highlands, Scottish highland cattle breeder in Bois D’Arc, MO, is located in the Ozark Mountains near Springfield. Cody Marshall has been raising Scottish highland cattle for over a decade, following breed council guidelines and participating in national registry programs with routine health testing and genetic screenings.

The herd grazes on rolling pastures with sturdy shelter barns, and calves are socialized by hand from birth to encourage gentle temperaments. Hiraeth Highlands emphasizes maternal qualities and longevity through selective breeding, focusing on structure and natural foraging instincts.

Herd size remains intentionally modest, allowing close monitoring of each animal’s health, condition, and behavior. Rotational grazing practices enhance soil health and forage diversity, supporting sustainable land management. These cattle suit small farms and pasture-based operations seeking hardy, adaptable stock with strong maternal lines and calm dispositions. All animals receive regular veterinary checks and balanced mineral supplements suited to the local soil profile.
