Wooly Cow Highland Farm

Wooly Cow Highland Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Boonville, MO, Cooper County and central Missouri near Columbia. It has been raising these hardy cattle for over a decade, maintaining membership in the American Highland Cattle Association and conducting routine health screenings for parasites and genetic conditions.

Its herd grazes across fenced pastures on wooded river bottom land, with a focus on low-stress handling and familiarizing calves with daily farm routines from an early age. The farm’s gentle approach has earned positive feedback from local homesteaders who value both the meat quality and the animals’ calm demeanor.

Wiley Mcvicker balances traditional ranching methods with careful record-keeping to support strong maternal lines and sound feet. The farm is family owned and retains original stone barns that date back to the 1930s. Animals receive seasonal mineral boosters and are rotated to fresh grass to promote soil health.
