Thistle Ranch is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Gladewater, TX in East Texas near Tyler. With more than 12 years of experience, Thistle Ranch is registered with the American Highland Cattle Association and follows routine health screening for calving ease, disposition and herd wellness.

Christopher Shelton raises cattle on pasture-based fields and provides daily social interaction to support gentle temperaments and natural foraging behaviors. The ranch maintains a closed herd and employs rotational grazing to promote soil health and genetic diversity. Young cattle live alongside older herdmates in spacious paddocks that allow simple movement through seasonal pastures.

Neighbors have noted consistent coat quality and calm handling at regional livestock events. Buyers value the transparent breeding records that trace back to foundation bloodlines and attention to sustainable practices. Winter hay is sourced locally to support consistent nutrition, and naturally shaded shelters offer protection through all seasons.
