All Natural Farms LLC

All Natural Farms LLC raises Scottish highland cattle in Rutherfordton, NC, Rutherford County and the foothills near Asheville. The farm is managed by Kristi Vantine, a member of the American Highland Cattle Association, and it follows regular health screenings and genetic testing to maintain herd quality. The cattle graze on open pasture, rotating through fenced paddocks rich in native grasses, and daily handling helps develop calm temperaments suited for family farms.

Set on historic farmland dating back three generations, the herd supports a conservation effort to preserve this heritage breed. Visitors often comment on the cattle’s steady demeanor and the attention given to individual animals. Routine veterinary oversight and a balanced feeding program ensure that each calf receives the care needed for healthy growth and longevity. Each animal has access to open shelters designed to protect from weather while allowing free movement. The farm also partners with local schools to share insights on sustainable ranching and breed conservation.
