Hillside Highlands

Hillside Highlands is a cattle operation in Chilhowie, VA, within Smyth County and Southwest Virginia near Bristol. Chilhowie sits along the Middle Fork of the Holston River, surrounded by valleys, open farmland and the long Appalachian ridges that shape this corner of the state. Agriculture has been part of life here for generations, and pastures and hayfields are a familiar sight along the back roads around town.

Cattle are herd animals that spend much of their time grazing, and they generally do best with steady access to forage, fresh water and room to move. People keep cattle for many reasons, including beef, milk, breeding stock or simply as part of a small family farm. Anyone considering cattle usually weighs pasture size, fencing, winter feed and access to a large-animal veterinarian before bringing animals home.

For buyers in and around Chilhowie, Hillside Highlands offers a local connection to cattle in a region where livestock and open land remain woven into everyday rural life.
