Lone Star Highlands

Lone Star Highlands Scottish Highland cattle, Whitesboro, TX are raised in North Texas near Fort Worth. Dax West and Jami West have over a decade of experience breeding hardy cattle from foundation lines and follow standards set by the American Highland Cattle Association.

Their herd undergoes regular health screenings including hoof care and pasture parasite management, and calves grow alongside the family using rotational grazing techniques. Socialization begins at birth with early handling in their open pastures, and each animal benefits from low-stress handling and sheltered loafing areas.

The farm combines traditional hill-country methods with modern husbandry to promote gentle temperaments and robust growth. One nearby ranch praised their consistent weight gains and calm demeanor when integrating breeding stock. Breeding selections prioritize maternal traits, sound feet and longevity suited to grass-fed operations. The property spans rolling pastureland with natural shade and fresh water access from an onsite creek.
