Miles Smith Farm

Miles Smith Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Loudon, NH, in Loudon County and the Lakes Region near Concord. Miles Smith Farm is owned by Carole Soule, who has been raising Scottish highland cattle for over a decade under association guidelines for health and welfare. The herd undergoes regular veterinary checks, genetic screenings and is registered with breed organizations to maintain authentic lineage.

Cattle graze on mixed pasture rotated to support soil fertility, with access to freshwater streams that encourage natural foraging. Each animal receives individualized attention from birth through maturity, and calves are socialized to the herd to foster calm temperaments. Seasonal barn shelter complements open fields, offering protection without indoor confinement, while winter paddocks are cleared with minimal stress on the herd. The farm’s history in sustainable livestock management reflects Carole Soule’s commitment to preserving the breed’s hardy character and adapting practices to the New England climate.
