Rocky Farm Highlands

Rocky Farm Highlands is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Marshville, NC, in Union County and the Piedmont near Charlotte. The farm has been active in national cattle associations and follows breed club guidelines along with routine health screenings for all herds. Herds graze on open pastures year round and calves are socialized early under the care of owner Raymond Nichols to ensure steady temperaments.

The property blends conservation-minded practices with a focus on hardy genetics passed down through several generations of Nichols family stewardship. A modest herd size allows for individual attention to each animal’s health and growth milestones. Routine pasture rotation and winter sheltering on bedding straw support both animal well-being and pasture health. Rocky Farm Highlands maintains transparent records of lineage and medical history to guide responsible ownership. This approach reflects the farm’s commitment to raising resilient cattle suited to diverse climates.
