Lockwood Farm Highlands & Goats

Lockwood Farm Highlands & Goats is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in McConnells, SC, York County, Piedmont region near Charlotte. Jeff Lockwood has raised Scottish highland cattle for more than ten years and follows standards from the American Highland Cattle Association for health testing. His herd is registered, and calves receive routine screenings for common hereditary conditions. The farm hosts seasonal educational visits for local schools and community groups.

Animals graze on rolling pastures and are accustomed to daily handling from an early age, which supports calm temperaments. Calves are born in a dedicated barn with constant monitoring during calving season. Pasture rotation minimizes environmental impact and encourages diverse forage growth. The farm’s historic homestead setting offers a natural environment where cattle form strong herd bonds. Visitors note the animals’ gentle nature and the attention given to pasture management and nutrition.
