HIGHLAND CATTLE & GRASSFED BEEF
LIVESTOCK
When choosing breeding stock, the entire animal is taken into consideration - temperament, movement and conformation. Dams have good feet, udders, a strong maternal instinct and are easy to work with. We strive to select sires with excellent movement, are agreeable and throw uniform calves with consistent weight gain. Animals for sale will have quiet, curious temperaments and strong conformation; with no significant health concerns at any point.
