Just South Of Heaven

Just South Of Heaven breeds Scottish highland cattle in Orangeburg, SC, Orangeburg County and the Midlands near Columbia. Joshua Simmons and Heather Simmons have been developing their herd with registered stock for several years and follow health screening guidelines to ensure sound genetics.

The cattle graze on well managed native pastures at the farm’s peaceful setting, with daily observation and ample time for natural foraging and social interaction. Their emphasis on gentle handling and early calf socialization has earned praise from local ag communities for the animals’ steady dispositions. The lightly wooded rolling fields provide shelter and varied terrain that supports strong hooves and overall well-being.

As a family-operated ranch, Just South Of Heaven blends hands-on care with a commitment to pasture conservation. Their approach reflects respect for local habitat and a calm environment that visitors and caretakers describe as welcoming. Scottish highland cattle are known for their hardiness and thick coats adapted to varied weather, attributes that this herd displays across all ages.
