Chevey's Nacho Rancho

Chevey’s Nacho Rancho, Scottish Highland cattle, Ava, MO, sits in Douglas County and the Ozarks near Springfield. Greg Cheverier has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for over a decade, is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association and follows breed association guidelines for genetic screening and vaccination protocols. Animals graze on mixed grass pastures with rotational grazing schedules, undergo annual hoof inspections and parasite management to support natural growth.

The ranch emphasizes low-stress handling and early socialization, with calves spending evenings in communal nursery paddocks before joining the main herd. Several cattle have earned championship ribbons at area fairs, a reflection of the ranch’s standards for conformation and temperament. Visitors often mention the herd’s gentle nature and the attentive care they receive under open-sky shelters.

Operating on family-owned land, the farm maintains sustainable grazing practices that benefit soil health and local biodiversity. The ranch’s quiet setting and thoughtful husbandry foster robust animals well-suited for both stewarding pasture land and community events.
