Noelle - my fav calf of mine this year and was a struggle deciding to keep her or not - hence the higher pricing. I loved all the calves as they were born equally, but Noelle has really grown into a beautiful heifer this summer, with a sweet, gentle and curious personality too. Her dam, Kelly, from the fabulous Windy Ridge I bought as a 1.5 year old and at first she seemed petite, but this year she has become my top quality cow with her conformation, feet, udder and disposition. Kelly has a slight curl to her hair, especially in the ears and Noelle has also taken that on. Kelly is friendly and loves a good pet, and Noelle is catching on too, always watching mama. Noelle has really well built legs and frame - I think she is going to be a really solid cow and great producer. Dam and sire in last photos.

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.
