Neive - named by my dad, was the last highland born so she is a month behind in size compared to Noelle, but she is really starting to fill out. Her dam, one of my best cows is a taller frame with a beautiful coat, udder and feet. Dam lost her horn at two years old before it was fully developed to a fight with my big bully simmental heifers. Was so so sad she lost it because it was an amazing set. Dam and sire in last photos - Neive will have a similar set and will grow strong if no injuries! Neive has a lighter coloured outline on her nose, one of my personal fav traits. She is quite the beautiful young lady. She is a little on the shy side only because being last born she went straight out to pasture and I didn't get as many scratches in as the others.

Buyers - I am only wanting to sell to people familiar with cattle already, or ready to dive in but completely set up to handle livestock.
Reminder - highlands are NOT mini, that is not a real thing. They will grow to be around 1100 lbs (females) and can be difficult to work with since they love to use their horns once they figure out how...
 
Things to consider: are you prepared to restrain if injured meaning do you have a chute or a good way to hold a 1100lb animal?
 
Cattle are herd animals so they need at least one bovine friend. Do you have or are planning on getting another this fall?
 
Do you have or can you have a relationship with a large animal vet?
 
Have you done your research on this breed? - something important to consider is unlike commercial beef cows, highland heifers MUST be two years old to breed - delivering their first calf at 3 or just over 3. They develop slower than commercial cattle being a heritage breed. If bred too soon a bull can severely injure them internally/crush them and or delivering at 2 instead of 3 can stunt their growth and tons of data showing re breeding after delivering at 2 is difficult.
 
Have you done your research on hay and pasture? Are you familiar with mineral needs, alfalfa risks, grain risks, how much land you'll need or hay you'll need. Are you set up with a trusting winter water supply?
 
You may want to consider quarantining before introducing to other animals - this is typical farm protocol.
 
 
All important things to consider if you are new to cattle.
