At Highland Heifers, we are proud stewards of a tradition that spans centuries, rooted in the rugged highlands of Scotland and brought to life on our family-run pastures. Our mission is simple: to raise healthy, happy Highland cattle that embody the beauty, resilience, and heritage of this iconic breed.
We are more than just a farm—we are caretakers, educators, and advocates for Highland cattle. Whether you’re looking to start your own herd, add a Highland to your family farm, or simply want to learn more about these majestic creatures, we welcome you to be a part of our journey.
Our Story
Highland Heifers was founded out of a deep respect for livestock and a lifelong love of agriculture. What began as a modest interest in heritage breeds quickly became a full-fledged passion project. Captivated by the breed’s hardiness, unique personalities, and iconic long hair, we brought our first Highland cattle home over a decade ago. That moment sparked the beginning of Highland Heifers—a farm and a lifestyle built around preservation, sustainability, and quality breeding.
As we’ve grown, so too has our commitment to ethical farming and responsible stewardship. We’re not just in the business of raising cattle—we’re raising standards for what it means to be a Highland cattle breeder in the 21st century.
Why Highland Cattle?
Highland cattle are known for their calm temperament, stunning appearance, and adaptability to diverse climates. With their distinctive horns and thick, flowing coats, Highlands are one of the most visually striking breeds, but their beauty is more than skin deep. Their beef is lean, flavorful, and prized for its high quality. Their gentle nature makes them ideal for both hobby farms and larger breeding operations.
These cattle are remarkably low-maintenance, thriving on pasture-based diets and natural environments. They are resistant to disease, able to calve with ease, and have a longer lifespan than many other breeds. At Highland Heifers, we believe in letting our animals do what they were born to do—graze freely, live peacefully, and grow naturally.
