RYC Farms

RYC Farms, Scottish Highland cattle, Richmond, KY, serves Madison County and the Kentucky Bluegrass region near Lexington. RYC Farms is dedicated to breeding hardy cattle suited to small farms, with a long history of careful bloodline selection and routine health screenings. Every calf is raised on open pasture and introduced to gentle handling from an early age. The farm follows best practices for nutrition and calf socialization to support steady growth and calm temperaments.

The property includes rotational grazing paddocks and a family-run barn that has hosted three generations of livestock care. Owner Paul Marshall applies traditional husbandry methods alongside modern veterinary oversight, ensuring genetic health and environmental harmony. Observers appreciate the cattle’s distinctive long hair and friendly disposition, qualities that reflect the farm’s thoughtful breeding philosophy. These cattle adapt well to pasture-based systems and often feature in local conservation grazing projects.
