Nesbit Heritage Farm

Nesbit Heritage Farm, Scottish highland cattle breeder in Clintwood, VA, is nestled in Dickenson County and southwest Virginia near Bristol.

The farm follows breed association health guidelines and conducts regular screenings for conditions common among Scottish highland cattle. Animals rotate through mixed grass pastures and receive daily hands-on interaction, which helps calves develop calm temperaments while under family care. Calves join seasonal pasture rotations early, adapting to mountain weather and building strong foraging habits for life on hilly terrain.

The farm’s open barn and spacious loafing sheds ensure animals stay dry and social through changing weather. Nicole and Richard Nesbit manage a small herd that demonstrates the rugged resilience and distinctive appearance of the breed. Their heritage-focused approach honors traditional traits, reflecting a commitment to the breed’s history and long-term well-being. Veterans of local fairs note the steady growth and docile nature of each animal raised on pastureland.
