K&N Farms

K&N Farms, Highland cattle, Wellsville, OH, Columbiana County and the Mahoning Valley near Youngstown, and the surrounding hills. Katie Compton has developed her herd with attention to Highland cattle traits, gentle disposition, and animal well-being.

Over the past several years, she has refined breeding selections to maintain the breed’s distinctive traits. Lineage records are meticulously maintained to support responsible breeding practices and track each animal’s pedigree. Routine health screenings and vaccinations are part of their care program, and calves receive daily handling and supplemental feeding from birth. Their Highland cattle graze on rotational pastures rich in native grasses and enjoy shelter in well-ventilated barns during colder months.

Farm operations follow USDA guidelines and best practices for cattle husbandry, ensuring strong growth, resilience, and overall herd health. Many visitors note the gentle temperament of these animals and the thoughtful stewardship reflected across the property, praising the calm farm atmosphere.
