Oak Grove Highlands

Oak Grove Highlands raises Scottish highland cattle in Saltville, VA, in Southwest Virginia near Roanoke. The farm has been home to a dedicated breeding program since the early 1990s, with membership in regional livestock associations and routine health screening for herd well-being. Each animal undergoes regular examinations for genetic and veterinary markers in line with national guidelines.

Calf socialization begins in open barns and pasture rotations, supporting sound hoof care and natural foraging behaviors. Joseph and Dianne Beck maintain the original family homestead, sharing a quiet setting where stockmanship and gentle handling guide every step of development.

Several calves and yearlings from Oak Grove Highlands have earned recognition at county fairs and local showcases for calm temperament and hardy constitution. The Becks blend heritage bloodlines with practical performance to support small-scale operations and family-run farms. The herd thrives on a diet of native grasses and balanced supplements.
