Thurman Family Farm

Thurman Family Farm is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Nixa, MO, in Greene County and the Ozarks near Springfield. The farm follows recommended health screening protocols, maintains registrations with the American Highland Cattle Association, and participates in regional breeding programs.

Animals graze on rotational pastures under shaded oaks and receive daily handling from birth to foster gentle temperaments. Melissa Thurman brings multi-generational Ozarks farming knowledge to every aspect of herd management. Calves are weaned through a low-stress process that supports steady growth and social bonds. Natural interactions among cattle encourage herd bonding, early social learning, and balanced temperaments.

The thick double coats of Scottish Highland cattle make them well suited to the variable Missouri weather, reducing the need for indoor housing during mild winters. Pastures are rotated to preserve native grasses, manage and enhance soil health, and protect local watersheds.
