The Bones Ranch

The Bones Ranch, Scottish highland cattle, Casar, NC, operates out of Rutherford County near Charlotte, providing quality care and pedigree documentation. Ryan Scott and Cara Scott have been raising Scottish highland cattle for over a decade, participating in the American Highland Cattle Association and completing health screenings on every animal.

Animals graze on open pasture with access to shelter year-round, and calves start early handling and herd socialization for balanced temperaments. Their approach blends traditional ranch methods with detailed breeding records and health testing, resulting in stock known for resilience across seasons. Visitors note clear communication about lineage and husbandry, and the couple’s focus on animal wellbeing shows in the herd’s calm nature.

The operation emphasizes sustainable grazing and rotational pasture management to maintain soil health and forage quality. Health certificates and performance records accompany each animal, reflecting the ranch’s commitment to transparency and breeder standards set by national registries.
