Red River Gorge Cattle Company

Red River Gorge Cattle Company breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Stanton, Kentucky, Powell County’s Red River Gorge near Lexington. Owner Shauneece Wade follows traditional herdbook registrations and schedules regular veterinary health screenings for all stock.

Animals are raised on pasture with shelter access, socialized daily, and rotated across native grasslands to support natural behaviors. Their gentle disposition and sturdy build have attracted interest from homesteaders seeking low-maintenance beef cattle. Wade’s breeding program emphasizes temperament and genetic diversity, selecting pairs for consistent growth and sound structure.

Visitors appreciate the farm’s gently rolling fields and creekside shade, which contribute to the cattle’s resilience through Kentucky’s seasonal changes. The cattle company operates with minimal stocking density, allowing calves to develop in small family groups and reducing stress. With a focus on long-term herd health and hands-on care, they ensure each animal meets quality standards valued by both breeders and small-scale producers.
