Prospect Hill Farm-Muir Fold

Prospect Hill Farm-Muir Fold, Scottish Highland cattle in Fredericksburg, VA, in the Northern Virginia region near Washington, nurtures heritage breeds. Barbara Muir has dedicated years to selecting cattle with strong health and temperament, following recommended protocols for genetic screening and herd health management. The herd grazes on rotational pastures and calves are gently socialized with daily attention, ensuring a calm and adaptable disposition. Foundation stock have been chosen for genetic diversity and the distinctive long, coarse coat characteristic of the breed.

When winter arrives, the cattle move into a well-ventilated barn with access to hay harvested from the farm’s own fields. The farm’s low-stress handling and balanced nutrition combine mineral supplements and fresh water year-round. This approach reflects a family tradition of sustainable land stewardship passed through generations at Prospect Hill Farm. Visitors note the cattle’s gentle nature and sturdy build, reflecting careful breeding and hands-on care from birth onward.
