About Miniature Highland Cattle

Miniature Highland Cattle are a smaller version of the traditional Scottish Highland breed, known for their distinctive long horns and shaggy double coats. These adorable animals combine all the wonderful characteristics of traditional Highlands in a more compact size, making them perfect for smaller farms and homesteads.

Highlands are one of the oldest registered breeds in the world, with a herd book dating back to 1885. These gentle giants 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.

Why We Love Miniature Highlands

• Friendly, gentle temperament that makes them more like pets than livestock
• Compact size (36-42 inches at the shoulder) perfect for smaller acreage
• Extremely hardy with natural resistance to many common cattle diseases
• Efficient grazers that can thrive on pasture other breeds would find insufficient
• Shaggy double coat that keeps them warm in winter and naturally sheds in summer
• Long lifespan of 15-20 years, much longer than most commercial cattle

Our miniature highlands are raised with love and care, ensuring they grow up to be well-socialized, friendly animals. We often call them our "pasture puppies" because they'll come running when called and love scratches and attention!
