Jolly Ranch

Jolly Ranch is a family-run Scottish highland cattle breeder in Yellville, Arkansas, in the Ozark Mountains near Harrison. Owner Whitnie Wiseman has followed breed guidelines from national associations and maintains routine health screening, fertility testing and hoof care protocols for all animals. Calves are raised on rotating pasture throughout the seasons and spend time in a spacious barn with natural light and ventilation where they receive daily handling for balanced socialization. Pasture rotation and environmental stewardship guide the ranch’s land management to preserve soil quality and promote diverse forage stands.

The ranch’s family approach dates back to local homesteading traditions and highlights gentle temperament and sturdy build. Each animal benefits from a grass-based diet supplemented with mineral blends and seasonal trace element adjustments chosen for cattle well-being. Wiseman combines practical experience with careful record-keeping to support herd vitality and monitor genetic lines. She attends county agricultural gatherings to exchange breeding insights and best practices with fellow breeders.
