Kindred Oaks

Kindred Oaks’ Scottish Highland cattle in Dawsonville, GA are raised by Mr. Larry R. Pirkle in the North Georgia mountains near Atlanta. With over a decade of experience, Kindred Oaks is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association and follows recommended health protocols, including Johne’s disease testing and routine veterinary care.

Calves grow up on pastureland and are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments, with winter housing that offers shelter from mountain weather. Buyers often note the friendly disposition and robust health of the calves, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on attentive care.

Their shaggy coats and sturdy builds adapt well to changing temperatures, making them a reliable choice for small-scale farms. Each animal’s lineage is documented through the herd book, ensuring transparency and traceability from birth. The operation uses rotational grazing and natural forage to maintain soil health and reduce feed costs.
