We
started in 1994 with a vision of keeping livestock that are
hardy, profitable and pleasing to the eye. The Highland cattle breed has
surpassed our expectations in all these areas. We raise quality beef and
registered
breeding stock.
We have enjoyed showing our
Highland cattle in the Northwest region and Nationally. Years of
selecting cattle for marketable character traits has taught us much. The genetics we use are diverse. Currently we have females sired by:
Basswood of
Swains GBB1B 7185 CA
Ben Eniglair of Scone
Palace 15745
CH
Aloysius 39178
DH Churchill
(AI) 27914
Jock
of Glengorm 7198 GB
Raindancer
of Five Star Farm 40675
Sherman of
Five Star Farm (AI) 43099
Select daughters from these bulls will be
artificially inseminated using genetics from leading Highland bulls.
We are always
striving to produce better highland cattle. Starting from the ground up, literally. A Highland cow needs good feet and
correct legs to carry her throughout her life. We place emphasis on great udders, when udders go, so does the cow.
Soundness of structure and growth is necessary. To reach
adequate weight in a timely manner greatly increases profitability.
Disposition is very important to us, we have a reputation of
having some of the most docile Highlands in the Northwest. Breed
character improves the overall visual appeal of the Highland cattle.
Our
Highland cattle breeding program continues to improve each year.
The very best females (those that consistently produce better than themselves), are mated
to genetically superior bulls. This program has
helped us realize our goal of consistently producing desirable breeding
stock.
The product of our Highland cattle breeding program has found favor with many judges over
the years resulting in show success such as:
National Grand
Champion Cow/Calf
National Grand Champion Female
National Grand Champion
Bull
Three National Reserve Grand Champion Bulls
& National Get of
Sire and Produce of Dam winners.
