Lakeside Farms

Lakeside Farms, Scottish highland cattle, Burbank, OK, in northeastern Oklahoma near Tulsa. They have cared for Scottish highland cattle for several years and follow American Highland Cattle Association guidelines for herd registration and health testing. Their herd grazes on native grasses and mature pastures, and the cattle are introduced to low-stress handling and daily routines from an early age.

As a family-run operation led by James and Christie Smith, Lakeside Farms maintains pastures enriched through rotational grazing and sustainable practices. The farm began over a decade ago with a small herd chosen for genetic diversity and adaptability. Their cattle are known for their hardy coats and calm dispositions, traits emphasized through consistent socialization and shelter provisions during winter. Locals appreciate the farm’s consistent attention to animal welfare and land stewardship. The farm’s approach balances traditional husbandry with modern welfare standards, creating a resilient herd suited to local climates.
