Scotts Creek Farm

Scotts Creek Farm, Hereford cattle in Statesville, NC, serves Iredell County and the Piedmont region near Charlotte. Over seasons of careful selection, the farm has developed a breeding program that upholds breed standards through regular veterinary assessments and adherence to American Hereford Association guidelines.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures bordered by native grasses, and calves are introduced early to gentle handling so they develop calm temperaments and strong social bonds. This pasture-based approach emphasizes natural foraging behavior, supports soil health, and reduces reliance on external inputs, reflecting a focus on gentle stewardship. Each animal is evaluated for conformation, temperament, and structural soundness before being integrated into breeding selections, ensuring balanced growth and reliable performance.

Visitors remark on the farm’s open layout, where cattle move freely across rolling fields and receive individual attention throughout the year. The team also engages with regional farming groups to share best practices and stay current on advancements in cattle health and pasture management.
