Idyllwood

Idyllwood Scottish highland cattle in Leoma, TN, are raised in Lawrence County near the Nashville area. Owners Nathaniel Neville and Darcy Neville have worked with highland cattle for over a decade and hold active memberships in national cattle breeder associations while adhering to recommended genetic and health screenings. The herd grazes on rotational pastures with access to a barn for shelter, and calves are gently exposed to handlers to encourage calm interactions.

Their approach emphasizes careful, low-stress handling and sustainable land management, drawing on a family tradition of responsible stewardship. Some animals have competed in regional livestock shows, where Idyllwood received positive feedback for the cattle’s hardiness and gentle dispositions. Prospective farms and homesteads often note the Neviles’ transparent records and willingness to share care guidelines, creating confidence in the breed’s suitability for both beef production and small-scale conservation efforts.
