Sonus Farms

Sonus Farms, Scottish highland cattle in Salem, AR, operates in Fulton County and the Ozark Mountains near Jonesboro. Beatrice Mc Queen has been breeding Scottish highland cattle for several years and works with national breed association standards to ensure herd health.

The cattle live on free-ranging pasture where they graze native grasses and receive daily health checks from experienced staff. Calves grow up in a mixed-age herd and are handled gently from birth to encourage a calm temperament. Regular veterinary screenings and genetic testing are part of their routine.

The farm itself combines traditional husbandry with a modern focus on pasture rotation, a practice praised by one visitor. Beatrice Mc Queen’s family has managed Sonus Farms for generations, blending heritage stock with careful record-keeping. Their emphasis on robust genetics and attentive management contributes to animals well suited for small-scale farms and meat programs.
