We raise Scottish Highland cattle, Suffolk sheep, Flemish Giant rabbits, poultry and waterfowl.

Our Livestock... We raise Scottish Highland cattle as our main focus, though do maintain a small Suffolk sheep flock as well. Our cattle and sheep diet consists of a mixture of grasses and clover, which produces meat high in protein and anti-oxidants. In addition, we also raise Flemish Giant rabbits, geese, ducks, turkeys, and chickens. All of our smaller livestock are housed in separate well-ventilated buildings, each with their own individual runs.

Update: As the farm was sold last month, we're shutting things down here, as well as, our website. It was a good ride while it lasted, we learned a lot of things as we built our farm from ground zero. We put in a lot of useful infrastructure and hope that the new owners carry on what we started back in 2012.

I will continue to work with Crystal Cochran-King and Eastern KY Highlands for the sale of our remaining Scottish Highlands. Please contact Crystal or I regarding those Highlands that remain.

I'll be shutting down this page in the coming weeks as we all continue to transition to the next phase of our lives.

TM Farmsteading’s remaining Highlands are in consignment with Crystal Cochran-King. She is marketing and working on our behalf. Please feel free to also directly contact her or myself regarding the Highlands. Responses from TM Farmsteading directly will be slower and would best be served to contact Crystal.

Well our adventures at coming to an end, at least at this farm. So, our remaining livestock need to be moved. At this point most know us for our Scottish Highlands, but we also have ducks, turkeys and Flemish Giant rabbits available. If you're local, please consider stopping by this weekend to see what we have available. PM us for more information and we continue wrapping up this adventure and prepare for the next one...

OK, so we had lots of interest in individual Highlands from our fold when we announced the dispersal. We have been selling some individually and need to move the rest as the farm is being sold. Included are our AHCA fold sire, and our HHCA exposed cows, and unexposed heifers and bull calves.

As always, we encourage people to come and visit when possible. Otherwise, we will work with those seriously interested and provide video, stats and additional pics as requested. Even though we need to move them, we are not giving them away, so please serious inquires only. The below pics were taken this past weekend.

With mixed emotions, we are glad to see Siobhan find a new home at Rohloff Ranch in Bishopville, MD. She we be able to enjoy the company of a new fold and become a precious member of a new family.

Loss, that is one thing that farmers feel intensely. Sadly, Ava our fold's matron died during the night. We are stepping in to take care of her little bull calf. It' shard on a calf to lose their momma. It's never easy and it's a reminder of the circle of life. It also forces us to try and reminder the good days and not to focus on the bad ones, such as today.

Pleasant updates, Bella had a healthy dun bull calf born last Thursday and Ava just had a healthy reb bull calf born today.
