Mini Highland Cows

Highland Cows originate from the very rugged Highlands of Scotland. Due to the conditions of the Highlands, this breed has developed into a very hardy breed of cattle that are unlike any other breed.

Why Highlands?

Highlands have a double coat. This allows them to handle extreme weather conditions that other cattle would not be able to handle. Another trait of the Highland that sets it apart from other breeds  is their grazing/or browsing. They resemble a goat in that they will eat brush and weeds. This allows for more highlands/acre then general cattle. Highlands are also known for their calving ease, being good mothers and for being docile. Highlands and humans have been interacting for so long over the span of history, that they will naturally be a good choice for a backyard grazer. Not looking for a backyard grazer? Highlands are slow to mature at the age of 3, this slow aging produces a flavorful succulent meat. Highland beef is known to bring premium prices/lb.   The topping on the cake of the Highland is the Mini Highland. It will give you all of the desirable traits of the Highland in a smaller package, making them easier to handle and raise. That is what we aspire to here at Bomke Farms, to produce healthy small Highland Cattle!
