Horn Ridge Farms

Horn Ridge Farms, Scottish Highland cattle breeders in Magee, MS, are located in Simpson County and south central Mississippi near Jackson. They have been committed to heritage breed preservation through membership in a national breed association and regular health evaluations. Their cattle herds undergo DNA screening and annual veterinary exams to ensure robust genetics and sound structure.

The herd grazes across open pastures with shelters woven into wooded areas, and calves begin gentle handling early to foster calm temperaments. Visitors often note the farm’s relaxed atmosphere and well-mannered animals during seasonal tours.

Chad Holbrook and Lauren Dickson take pride in maintaining records that trace each animal’s lineage, reflecting their dedication to thoughtful, community-minded stewardship. A recent feature in the county’s agricultural newsletter highlighted the farm’s longstanding commitment to sustainable grazing practices. Each animal’s wellbeing is monitored daily, and the team adapts pasture routines to seasonal changes for optimal health.
