Raintree Ranch

Raintree Ranch, Scottish Highland cattle, Goleta, CA, is based in Santa Barbara County and the central coast near Santa Barbara. The ranch is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association, follows breed club guidelines, and conducts routine health tests for its herd, drawing on years of experience in pasture-based cattle care. Each animal grazes across open grasslands and benefits from early socialization with both family members and neighboring livestock.

Located at 1255 Franklin Ranch Road, the property combines rolling pastures with shelter barns that offer protection during variable coastal weather. Calves grow up alongside older animals in small groups, forming bonds that help ease transitions within the herd. The cattle are selected for their calm temperament and hardiness, traits that suit this area’s mild winters and ocean breezes. Visitors often comment on the gentle nature of the herd and the ranch’s quiet, rural atmosphere.
