Our Mini Highlands average 36–48 inches tall at the shoulder (300–800 lbs), while micro Highlands are even smaller at under 36 inches (200–500 lbs). Their compact size makes them ideal for small farms, backyards, or hobby herds.
Absolutely! Our Highlands are bred for gentle temperaments and socialized from birth. They’re easy to halter-train, thrive on human interaction, and adapt well to families, 4-H projects, or first-time ranchers.
Every calf comes with:
100% vaccination (including blackleg, IBR, BVD, and more).
Deworming and vet health certification.
A 30-day health guarantee against genetic or congenital issues.
We partner with USDA-approved, climate-controlled transporters.
Cost: Shipping starts at $500 (varies by location).
Process: Calves travel with companions to minimize stress.
Tracking: You’ll receive updates and a care kit upon arrival.
Diet: Grass hay, pasture grazing, and minimal grain (1–2% of body weight daily).
Space: 1 acre can support 2–3 mini Highlands (vs. 1–2 acres for standard cattle). They thrive in most climates with basic shelter.
Yes! Our cattle come from certified pedigreed bloodlines ideal for breeding. We offer free guidance on pairing, gestation (9 months), and calf care. Note: Micro Highlands are often sterile—ask us for details.
Mini Highlands are primarily companion or hobby animals, though some owners use them for small-scale, grass-fed beef (yield: ~30% of live weight). They’re not dairy cattle but can produce enough milk for family use.
Pedigree paperwork and health records.
Lifetime support via phone/email.
A starter care guide (feeding, fencing, vet tips).
Discounts on future purchases for returning clients.
Most U.S. states classify mini cattle as livestock or “hobby farm” animals. Check local ordinances—we’ll help you navigate requirements! Urban areas may require permits for backyard herds.
