We prioritize health records, conformation, size and disposition when picking our Sire Bulls and Dams.

Welfare

We breed and raise our animals in a nurturing environment, free range, with human interaction and lots of love. We respect and generate the most natural environment for our herd.

Training

On top of high quality genetics, the best nutrition and the peaceful environment, we are around our herd constantly so they feel safe, and learn to socialize with visitors and guests of any ages. The calves will go home after 4-6 weeks of socializing training, halter training and ready to give you all the love you want from them.

Why Mini?

Cuteness aside, Homestead & Miniature Cattle are docile, efficient cattle that produce well with low input on small acreage. They are easy on fencing and equipment. They are perfect for beginners and small to medium size farms, homestead and ranches. They are a great choice for agricultural tax exemption on a small property.

About Highlands

Highland (sometimes called Scottish Highland) is a distinct breed of cattle and the oldest registered breed of cattle in the world. These iconic creatures are extremely hardy, docile and have demonstrated remarkable adaptability to diverse and challenging climates.

We find a lot of benefits in registering the animals that are born on the farm. It provides transparency to our clients. It accounts for traceability on genetics, traits and performance. When you buy an animal from us, the registration is transferred to you as a gift from us, so you can have all their records as well as continue the practice in case you decide to breed as well. We register with IMCBR, AHCA, HHCA, MMDA as appropriate.

All our animals are on pasture 24×7, with access to shelter, shade and very refreshing sprinklers for the summer days. During dry seasons we supplement with excellent local quality hay and the minimum required high quality cattle feed to keep them on a good nutritional score. And they loooove the feed, so it is a great treat for them as well as a strategy for easy cattle management.
