The Allphin Farmhouse

The Allphin Farmhouse, Scottish Highland cattle, Granby, MO, is a family-run breeder serving Newton County and the Ozarks region near Joplin. Since 2015, Nicolas Allphin has raised cattle under American Highland cattle association standards, completing routine health testing and registering each calf. The operation holds member status in the regional breeders club and follows established protocols for genetic diversity.

Animals graze across sprawling pastures bordered by woodlands, with sturdy shelters built from reclaimed timber near the farmhouse. Calves receive daily handling from birth, which helps develop calm personalities suited for on-farm visits and introductory show experiences. The farm’s bulls and heifers have placed at county fairs for structural soundness and coat quality, reflecting a careful selection process. Visitors note the transparent record keeping and relaxed setting, underscoring a genuine commitment to responsible livestock stewardship. A simple on-site barn provides shelter during winter months, ensuring comfort year-round.
