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 registered breeding stock and quality beef. 

We enjoy showing our Highland cattle in the Northwest region and Nationally. Years of careful selection has taught us much. The genetics we use are very diverse. Currently we have females sired by these bulls:  

Basswood of Swains GBB1B  7185 CA

Ben Eniglair of Scone Palace

CH Aloysius  39178

DH Churchill (AI)     27914

EZ Acres Nathaniel 26710

Raindancer of Five Star Farm 40675

Sherman of Five Star Farm (AI)

   Select daughters from these bulls will be artificially inseminated using genetics from leading Highland bulls. Check out the A.I. page on our site for photos and pedigrees on these bulls. Other outstanding cows in the herd will be pasture bred to our current herd sire, Raindancer of Five Star Farm, (2005 National Reserve Grand Champion Highland Bull). 

   To produce the "perfect Highland cow" is motivation for many breeders. We start 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. Lots of 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 Highland Female

National Grand Champion Highland Bull

Three National Reserve Grand Champion Highland Bulls

& National Get of Sire and Produce of Dam winners.
