Walnut Creek Highlands Scottish Highland cattle, Greenfield, OH, is located in Highland County in the Appalachian foothills near Cincinnati. Cori Cockerill began breeding Scottish Highland cattle more than a decade ago, maintaining membership in the American Highland Cattle Association and adhering to recommended health screenings.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures across rolling family fields, with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and strong herd bonds. Several animals from recent litters have competed in county fairs, picking up ribbons for both conformation and maternal traits.

Prospective owners appreciate the breed’s approachable disposition and adaptability to the varied Ohio seasons.

Feed rations emphasize nutrient-rich local hay and mineral supplements to support hoof and coat health through cold winters and humid summers.
