Spring Hollow Farm

Spring Hollow Farm breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Finksburg, MD, serving Carroll County and the Baltimore area. With several years of experience in Scottish Highland breeding, the farm follows registered protocols for pedigree tracking and herd improvement, and engages with professional and regional cattle associations to share husbandry insights. It maintains herd health through regular veterinary care and adheres to breed registry guidelines.

Its cattle graze on open pastures with daily handling to support calm temperaments. Spring Hollow Farm practices rotational grazing to promote sustainable land use and animal welfare. Calving aligns with spring pasture growth to support natural nutrition. Brian W. Smith’s family-run operation balances traditional husbandry with selective breeding for natural hardiness. Young calves receive early exposure to human interaction for easy handling, and each animal is assessed for temperament and structural soundness before joining the breeding herd.
