Our Mini Highland Cows & Miniature Highland Cattle

About Mini Highland Cows & Miniature Highland Cattle

Mini highland cows are a smaller version of the traditional Scottish Highland breed, known for their distinctive long horns and shaggy double coats. These adorable miniature highland cattle combine all the wonderful characteristics of traditional Highlands in a more compact mini highland cow size, making them perfect for smaller farms and homesteads. We also breed micro mini highland cows for families seeking an even smaller companion.

Highland cattle are one of the oldest registered breeds in the world, with a herd book dating back to 1885. Our mini highland cattle are often called "the friendly breed" because of their calm, docile temperament. They're extremely hardy, adaptable to various climates, and are known for their exceptional mothering abilities — all traits that make mini highland cow care easier than most breeds.
