BIG RIDGE
SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CATTLE
Another animal we breed and raise on our farm are Scottish Highland cattle. We chose Highland cattle because of the steep pastures and woodlands of our farm and the hardy nature of these beautiful animals. Our herd eats brush and weeds with as much vigor as they attack grass. We have about 100 acres of pasture that has not been grazed for years and our herd is well on its way to cleaning up the former pastured areas. They eat ten year old raspberry and blackberry bushes right to the ground and clean up 45 degree slopes that we thought only our goats could traverse.
(Cattle on the middle ridge of our farm, at the lower elevation gently sloped pasture.)

Being the "Herd Sire"
We went the extra mile in finding the best herd sire because he will determine 50% of the genetics of EVERY bull and heifer we produce! Haydn is "Scottish" or "traditional" and fits the Scottish standard. He varies from the "American" Scottish Highlands being shown and bred for meat. He has a correct head and horns and well as conformation.
Haydn is the offspring of
2 "Embryo Transplants" of direct Scottish heritage. Haydn's sire and dam were
bred from the finest Scottish Highland cattle .
Haydn is calm and gentle, eats from my hand. He is gentle and protective with the girls.
The strength of Haydn's pedigree speaks for itself
