Lewis' Farm

Lewis’ Farm, Scottish Highland cattle, Terra Alta, WV, in the Potomac Highlands near Morgantown. Ralph and Joann Lewis have raised Scottish Highland cattle for several years with a focus on breed standards and animal health, maintaining herd registrations and routine veterinary checks. They follow recommended standards set by the national breed association and carry out annual health screenings to monitor livestock well-being.

Each pasture is managed with rotational grazing to preserve forage quality and support soil health. Calves are introduced to mild handling routines in the first weeks, which fosters a relaxed disposition by maturity.

The farm’s landscape of rolling hills and historic barns offers a traditional backdrop for raising hardy stock that thrive through seasonal changes. Visitors appreciate the transparency of the breeding program and often note the consistency of horn shape and coat coloration. They maintain detailed documentation for each animal lineage, which underscores their commitment to responsible breeding.
