New Morning Farm

New Morning Farm, Scottish Highland cattle, Clintwood, VA, is located in Dickenson County and the Appalachian Highlands near Abingdon. The farm has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for several years, follows breed registry guidelines, and includes routine health testing to support resilient herds. Animals graze on open pastures that roll across hillside fields. Calves are socialized from an early age in a family-centered environment and receive individual health checks through weaning.

Visitors note the cattle’s calm temperament, dense coats, and steady weight gain through seasonal changes and friendly nature. Herd health includes regular year-round veterinary exams, hoof trimming, and tailored nutrition plans. Careful pasture management with rotational grazing reflects a deep regard for animal welfare and responsible, sustainable land stewardship.
