JD Livestock

JD Livestock raises Scottish Highland cattle in Siloam Springs, AR, in Benton County and the Ozarks near Fayetteville.

Danielle Bacon has focused on this hardy breed and follows established health screening protocols, including annual vaccinations and hoof inspections. The cattle graze on rotational pastures and have access to a three-sided shelter, with calves remaining with their dams to encourage natural social development. A small herd size and hands-on approach allow close observation of temperament and growth, resulting in gentle animals suited to pasture-based systems.

Many local farms note the calm disposition of JD Livestock cattle, reflecting Danielle’s commitment to thoughtful husbandry. Scottish Highland cattle are known for their distinctive long hair and resilience to colder climates, qualities that JD Livestock values when planning breeding pairs and pasture rotations. Detailed record-keeping of lineage and weight gain ensures transparency for prospective buyers and supports long-term herd health.
