The farm is also home to a small fold of midsize Scottish Highland cattle managed by Alison. Friendly and adorable, this breed of cattle is a favorite among many! Though Scottish Highlands were originally a standard size cow, after cross breeding with other small framed cattle breeds over the years, the Scottish Highlands are now primarily known as “mini” cows. It’s important to know what size a breeder strives for within their breeding program when purchasing a Scottish Highland. The slow growth rate of Highlands is often misleading and new owners often find themselves with an animal that weighs upwards of 1000lbs. Scottish Highlands typically reach maturity at 3 years old. While it is impossible for a breeder to guarantee the mature height of a calf, they should be able to give you an accurate estimate.
