Lawson's Green Acres

Lawson’s Green Acres, Scottish Highland cattle in High Rock Loop Monterey, TN, serves the Upper Cumberland region near Cookeville. Jessica Lawson has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for over eight years, holds membership with the American Highland Cattle Association, and follows breed-specific health protocols including regular hoof trimming and fertility evaluations.

Animals live outdoors year-round, grazing on rotational pasture enhanced by native grasses and limestone-rich soil, with natural shelters provided for winter months. A focus on early handling gives each calf individual attention, building trust and resulting in a notably calm herd temperament during routine care. A family-run homestead since 2005, the ranch blends traditional hill country farming techniques with modern sustainability measures like water conservation and pasture regeneration. Local agricultural fair judges have commended the herd for strong maternal instincts and uniform coat quality in several recent show classes.
