Our Highland Herd

Hazel – 100% Highland

Hazel might just be the sweetest animal I have ever had the pleasure of being around!  She enjoys human interaction, and was halter broke the 2nd time I put a halter on her.  Just an incredible heifer, all around, that came from Dakota Ranch.  She has the build, the personality, AHCA registration/bloodlines, and all the fluff!

Margaret – 100% Highland

Margaret joined our farm all the way from Asman Highlands in Oregon.  She is AHCA registered, and has the Balmoral bloodlines.  She is halter broke, and a sweet heifer.  She is always ready for a good brushing or a delicious treat.

 

White Heifer – 100% Highland

This heifer hasn’t actually made it to our farm, yet.  However, once she is weaned, she will move to our farm in Illinois from her home in Kentucky.  We cannot wait to meet this littler girl!  Her sire is AHCA registered, and her dam is HHCA.  This heifer will be HHCA registered.

Rusty – 100% Highland Bull

Rusty is our well mannered 2021 Highland Bull, 42 inches tall and dehorned.  He is HHCA registered. Rusty loves a good brushing and his treats. 

Lucielle – 2020 Miniature Highland Cross Cow

Lucielle is a 43 inches, non chrondo cow, and one of our original 3 heifers to start our Highland addiction.  She is 3/4 Highland, 1/4 Dexter.  She has a gentle, sweet disposition, and just loves being brushed.  

Ruby – 100% Red Highland Heifer

Ruby came to us from Rocking K Highlands, and is AHCA registered.  She is a sweet girl that follows us in the pasture, and is patiently waiting for a good brushing.  Ruby was born in June 2023.  She started out a lighter red/yellow color, but is shedding out to be a pretty red.

Thelma – 100% Highland

Thelma is one of our original 3 heifers, and is HHCA registered.  She is 100% Highland, and stands about 42″ at the hip.  When we first brought Thelma to our farm, she wasn’t as approachable as our other calves.  However, Thelma has turned in to my therapy animal!  She is always patient to stand in line for her turn to be brushed, and doesn’t like the other cattle getting too lively around me.  I never get tired of looking at this gorgeous, brindle girl.  

B.B. – 50% Highland, 50% Hereford

B.B. was a spur of the moment purchase by my husband at a local auction.  When he brought her home, I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about his purchase.  However, as we were able to get some weight on her, B.B.’s unique personality started to shine through!  She is one of our friendliest cows, and is always one of the first to greet you at the gate. 

Berry – 100% Highland Bull

Berry is that deep, mahogany red I had been searching for!  Not only is he well built with a beautiful color, he is a very sweet bull that loves a brushing.  His sire was also a deep red, and was AHCA registered.  His dam was HHCA, and Berry is HHCA-A Registered.  He was born June 2023.

 

Buttons – 50% Highland, 50% Black Angus

Buttons is a naturally poled 2021 heifer.  She is still one of our smaller cows at 40″.  Button loves treats and a good brushing.  Nothing get’s Button upset, and she is always the sweetest cow no matter the situation. Button has been registered with HHCA Crossbred registry.


Elsa – 100% Highland

We purchased Elsa as a bred cow in May of 2024, and she has been a great addition to our herd!  She has been registered with HHCA.  Elsa has a great personality, and is a real cuddle baby.  Elsa gave us a healthy, blue-eyed bull calf this fall, and was an excellent mother.

Cream – 100% British White

We bought Cream at a sale as a bottle baby, and she is still a cuddle baby till this day.  I have never been around a cow that is as friendly, or as smart, as Cream!  She is one of a kind, and I am so happy she is on our farm!

Silver Belle – 100% Silver Highland Heifer

We are so excited to have Silver Belle on our farm!  She was purchased from the HHCA’s annual Fall auction, and we couldn’t be happier with this heifer!  Belle is 100% Highland, a 2022 calf, HHCA registered, and is halter broke.  She has a thick, beautiful coat and has been dehorned.  Belle has a great personality, and once she gets to know you, will always be there for a treat or brushing.

Anna – 100% Red Highland Cow

Anna is AHCA registered, and has really impressed me with her calm disposition.  She arrived on our farm from Silver Linings Highlands in North Carolina, and was calm on arrival.  She loves brushes and treats, and has the beautiful Bus Dubh coloring found in some Highland cattle genetics.
