Red Briar Farms

Red Briar Farms is located in the foothills of the Cheaha Mountains, where it has become known for its dedication to raising Highland cattle. This breed, with a storied history dating back to the rugged Scottish Highlands, has been naturally selected for its hardiness and adaptability. The farm's commitment to preserving this 'Grande Old Breed' is evident in their careful breeding and herd management practices.

The farm employs rotational grazing and sustainable pasture management, ensuring the health of both the land and the cattle. Highland cattle, known for their double hair coat, thrive on grass and do not require antibiotics or hormones. They are raised on pastures of mixed native grasses, clover, and fescue, with hay supplementation only during the dormant winter months. Harvesting is conducted at a local certified facility to minimize stress from transportation.

Highland cattle are celebrated for their lean, high-quality beef, which is sold by the whole, half, or quarter carcass. The farm offers shipping options for their products. The Highland breed's unique characteristics, such as their double hair coat and docile nature, make them well-suited to various environments, including the heat of Alabama. The farm's website provides additional information and photos of their beautiful animals.
