Porter Cove Farm

Porter Cove Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Graham, NC, is owned by Amy Porter and has been breeding registered cattle in Alamance County near Raleigh since 2012. It participates in breed association programs and maintains routine veterinary care, annual herd health screenings, and up-to-date vaccinations. The property’s mixed woodlands and open fields offer shelter and forage diversity throughout the seasons. The farm follows low-stress handling methods, rotating animals across gently rolling pastures to promote natural grazing and social interaction from birth.

Amy Porter emphasizes regular human contact during early stages to foster calm temperaments, and visitors often note the herd’s placid nature. Seasonal calf groupings allow young animals to form healthy peer bonds before integration into adult herds. Annual evaluations ensure each animal meets breed standards for conformation and hardiness, reflecting the farm’s commitment to responsible stewardship. Herd size remains modest to ensure each animal receives individual attention and thoughtful breeding decisions.
