About FBL Highlands
The Farm at Berry Lane
FBL Highlands is a family owned and operated farm and business that seeks to preserve the majestic breed of Scottish Highlands. Through the use of artificial insemination and embryo transfer, we choose only the best for our breeding program. We spend a lot of time working with our cattle and their sweet disposition makes it easy for us to not only strive for genetically superior cows, but also calm and gentle animals.
Our Story
Hey there! We are the Dawkins! In 2019 our family of six left our beloved house in the city for a 100 year-old farmhouse nestled in central North Carolina. We continued to live in our city home through the renovating process, but quickly fell in love with the cute little farm off Berry Lane. Amidst the remodeling, we were given six chicks that over time grew to over fourty chickens. Our love for animals led us to purchase three Highland cattle in 2021, although we didn't have much knowledge about them. After finding out that one of our cows was registered, we soon became members of the American Highland Cattle Association. By the next year we more than doubled our fold, participated in our first cattle show, and even started the AI breeding process. Since then we have continued to grow our fold, shown at the Southeast Highland Cattle Show, and made more memories than we could have dreamed of. The Farm at Berry Lane has taught us more than we ever imagined and Highland cattle have our hearts. It is the desire of FBL Highlands to continue to breed beautiful animals that show off the beauty and majesty of our Creator.
