Rockhouse Run Farm

Rockhouse Run Farm is a breeder of Scottish Highland cattle in Bristol, TN, in East Tennessee near Knoxville.

Over the past decade it has refined its breeding program with a focus on robust conformation, and its cattle are registered with the American Highland Cattle Association while following recommended health screening protocols. Calves are born on-site and raised alongside adult cattle to strengthen social bonds and adapt to herd dynamics from an early age. It practices rotational grazing across fenced pastures and provides open-sided shelters stocked with locally sourced hay during winter months.

Its rolling fields are bordered by woodlands, offering ample shade and room for foraging natural grasses. Its gentle handling and regular low-stress interaction aim to promote calm temperaments, which are valued traits in this breed. The farm’s commitment to traditional husbandry and meticulous record keeping reflects a desire to preserve the breed’s rugged heritage and support small-scale beef production.
