Shaggy Cattle Company

Shaggy Cattle Company, Scottish highland cattle, Jacksboro, TX, is located in Jack County and North Texas near Fort Worth. It holds membership in the American Highland Cattle Association and follows recommended health testing protocols for its breeding stock.

Its cattle graze on managed pastures and receive daily handling to encourage gentle temperaments. Owner Cody Dodson emphasizes low-impact grazing and rotational systems that support grassland health and animal comfort. Young calves are introduced to familiar household sounds and livestock handling to build confidence. These cattle are noted for their stout build and long, curly coats that adapt well to local climate variations, while family-run operations with on-site calving pens ensure attentive care from birth through maturity.

Calf nutrition blends pasture grazing with custom mineral supplements to support steady growth and robust health. The farm’s rolling fields and mature shade trees provide a comfortable environment in all seasons.
