Red Haven Farm

Red Haven Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Irvine, KY, Estill County and the Appalachian foothills near Lexington. Sandra Ross has maintained these heritage cattle for many years, following breed standards through industry affiliations and routine health testing. The herd grazes on rotating pastures with access to shelter and natural forage, and calves are socialized daily from an early age to support calm temperaments.

Pasture-based breeding cycles align with seasonal growth, and each animal receives individual care from routine hoof trimming to seasonal mineral supplements. As a family-run operation on land passed down through generations, the farm preserves traditional husbandry practices while adapting to modern welfare guidelines. Visitors often note the serene setting and the herd’s friendly nature, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on respectful handling.

Red Haven Farm follows sustainable land management practices to enhance soil health and biodiversity across its pastures. The herd’s hardiness in cold winters has earned praise from local fair judges, underscoring the farm’s careful selection and breeding approach.
