Rockin' C Ranch

Rockin' C Ranch, Scottish highland cattle, Fordland, MO, is nestled in the Ozark Mountains near Springfield. Michael S. Coursey has raised highland cattle for over a decade with registrations through the American Highland Cattle Association and rigorous routine health screenings to ensure the herd remains robust.

Animals graze on mixed grass pastures and spend winters in spacious barns, and each calf receives early socialization with family members. The ranch focuses on gentle temperaments, low-stress handling, and grass-fed practices rooted in sustainable agriculture. Visitors often note the calm nature of the cattle and the thoughtful land stewardship that preserves local streams and woodlands.

The property includes century-old barns that speak to a legacy of livestock stewardship. Clients appreciate detailed guidance on breed selection, conformation evaluation, and land management that supports whole-farm health. Special emphasis on rotational grazing and soil-building cover crops enhances pasture productivity while benefiting local wildlife.
