Raintree Heritage Highlands

Raintree Heritage Highlands, Scottish highland cattle, Goleta, CA, serves Santa Barbara County and the central coast near Santa Barbara. Adam Simms has been raising Scottish highland cattle for several years and holds membership in national cattle breeding associations. All cattle undergo routine health screenings including genetic testing and hoof inspections. A sturdy barn with open shelters offers protection from sun and rain, and rotating paddocks support forage renewal.

Pasture-based grazing on rolling hills provides natural forage and contributes to calm temperaments from early socialization with handlers. The ranch's focus on low-stress handling reflects a belief that respectful care supports long-term herd well-being. Bloodlines include animals recognized for sturdy builds and docile nature, making them suited to small farms and homesteads alike. Natural foraging is supplemented with locally sourced hay in winter months to maintain consistent nutrition and overall herd condition.
