Smoky Mountain

Smoky Mountain raises Chianina cattle in Knoxville, Tennessee, Knox County and East Tennessee near Chattanooga. Walt Dickson has guided the farm for over a decade, adhering to American Chianina Association standards and maintaining regular veterinary checks. The cattle graze on managed pastures and receive daily handling to foster a steady temperament and strong herd dynamics. The operation draws on a long tradition of family farming, with careful selection for balanced muscle structure and soundness.

Commitment to clear pedigrees and thoughtful breeding decisions aims to support calves that thrive in diverse climates and workloads. A shaded barn area offers shelter during hot summers and cold snaps, while access to mineral-rich salt licks supports overall well-being. Visitors on scheduled farm tours can observe the herd’s routine and learn about the lineage and care practices behind each animal. Regular record-keeping and transparent communication with new owners have built trust within the local agricultural community.
