PUREBRED REGISTERED HIGHLAND CATTLE

---

Our goal is to provide another reliable source of quality, nutritious, regeneratively raised beef to the local community. We specifically chose the Highland breed for this task, for a number of reasons:

1. Highland cattle are hardy and adaptable grazers, and are known for being self sufficient. These are assets in our terrain, with our silvopastures being rugged and challenging to work. We are actively working on improving the forage quality throughout our pastures, and it is a slow going arduous process. So our cattle need to be able to efficiently convert even the less favourable forage into beef.

2. Highland cattle produce very high quality beef that is high in protein and iron, and low in cholesterol and fat, while maintaining excellent marbling and tenderness. What's not to love about that?

3. Highland cattle are a smaller breed, known for being docile and calm. While it is important to remember they are still large horned animals capable of many things, every step we can take in the direction of safety is appreciated on our family run ranch. Safety in working with our cattle is paramount, and we strive for the infrastructure and management practices appropriate to allow for the safest working conditions possible. However, the amicable nature of our cattle and the forgiveness that can afford in unforeseen circumstances is greatly appreciated.

4. Highland cows are known to calve easily and have naturally strong mothering instincts, being unassisted more than 90% of the time, and producing high fat milk for their calves. Our first calves will be born mid to late summer this year.
