Stony Meadows Farm

Stony Meadows Farm, Scottish highland cattle in New Salisbury, IN, in southern Indiana near Louisville, focuses on genetic diversity and breed standards. It follows national registry guidelines and conducts routine health checks covering calving ease, parasite resistance and coat quality. Membership in regional cattle associations and consistent record keeping support its herd’s traceability and overall well-being. Calves enjoy open pastures with rotational grazing, natural shelters, and daily handling to encourage early socialization and confidence.

The farm integrates traditional grazing rotations with shelter access during colder months, promoting animal comfort, herd health, and pasture regeneration through managed rest periods. Long-term observation of herd behavior has led to a gentle temperament that eases handling during routine care. Visitors often remark on the cattle’s resilience and the open-air setting that reflects the farm’s roots in sustainable livestock stewardship. Owner Rick Lumpkins prioritizes transparency by inviting visitors to observe daily routines and learn about highland cattle traits.
