Wood Family Farms

Wood Family Farms is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Decatur, AR, serving Northwest Arkansas near Fayetteville. Tracey Wood maintains membership in reputable livestock organizations and ensures each cow and calf receives routine health screenings, including tests for common herd conditions. Animals are raised in a pasture-based setting with access to shelter and custom mineral programs tailored to regional soil composition.

Their herd grazes rotationally across mixed-grass pastures, supporting both soil health and natural foraging behaviors. Young cattle are gently introduced to handling through daily interaction, which helps develop a steady temperament. The farm’s sustainable grazing model reflects a respect for animal welfare and land stewardship passed down through multiple farm generations. Attention to the breed’s signature longevity and resilience guides breeding selections, preserving traits that suit diverse climates and small-scale operations. During colder months, the farm provides windbreaks and ample bedding to support the breed’s hardy nature without compromising comfort.
