At Highland Heifers, we are committed to delivering healthy, well-cared-for Highland calves and cattle safely and efficiently to their new homes across the United States. This Shipping and Delivery Policy explains how we handle transportation, what you can expect, and what responsibilities you have as a buyer.
🚚 Nationwide Delivery Available
We proudly offer nationwide delivery of our Highland cattle within the continental United States. Whether you’re located on a small homestead in the Midwest or a ranch in the South, we work with experienced, USDA-licensed livestock transporters to ensure your animals arrive safely and in excellent condition.
🐄 Our Transport Process
- Scheduling:
Once your purchase is confirmed and payment is received in full, we’ll work with you to schedule a delivery date that suits both parties. Most deliveries occur within 2–4 Days, depending on location and weather conditions. - Health Checks:
All animals are vet-checked, dewormed, and up to date on vaccinations before travel. We ensure compliance with interstate livestock movement laws, including health certificates and required paperwork. - Safe and Comfortable Transit:
Our transport partners specialize in cattle handling. Calves and cattle are transported in well-ventilated, climate-appropriate trailers with regular rest stops, water access, and proper bedding.
📍 Pick-Up Option
Buyers are welcome to pick up their Highland calf or cattle in person at our farm. If you choose this option, we will coordinate a mutually convenient pick-up date and provide all necessary health documents upon collection.
💵 Delivery Costs
Shipping costs vary depending on:
- Number of animals being transported
- Distance from our location
- Specific transport requirements
We will provide you with a custom quote before confirming your order. We strive to offer transparent, affordable rates and only work with reputable livestock haulers.
🚨 Note: Delivery fees are non-refundable once transport is scheduled and confirmed.

Each animal delivered includes:
- A current veterinary health certificate

📅 Delivery Timing and Delays
We do our best to meet agreed delivery dates; however, delays may occur due to:

- Be present at the time of delivery or arrange for an authorized person to receive the animal.
