Bull for sale - SOLD

We have decided it's time to switch the genetics in our herd, so we are selling our bull.  We would like to see him go to a nice farm.  He is an unregistered purebred Highland bull, born December 2010.  He has beautiful red coloring with slight brindling, great temperament, and loves being scratched.  He has sired lots of nice calves for us.  We are asking $1300.  Contact us if you would like more details on his pedigree.






NWHCA meeting update

It was nice meeting so many Highland enthusiasts at the annual Northwest Highland Cattle Association meeting. It's always interesting to hear other's stories of how they got started and where they are today. 

A big thanks to the hosting farm as well. Their farm and cows were beautiful... and their living room was very comfortable as we watched the rain and hail come down outside!

I look forward to next year's meeting, and hope we can fit it in our busy schedule.

Cow walks

Out for an evening walk with Emma... pretty sure the neighbors think it's a little strange.

Nursing calf video

Here's a short video of our first calf Fiona nursing, hopefully it works. This mama cow always has more than enough milk for her calves, and you can easily milk her. Fiona is doing great. Still waiting on our others. Guess I missed their gestation dates by a month!

Spring time

We're expecting our first calf any day now. The cows are on fresh pasture and loving it. Still some fertilizing to do and the winter paddock to clean up, but very nice to have some warmer weather... though the rain doesn't seem to want to stop completely yet!
