Highland cow

We would love you to meet our girls - and Clyde. Our cattle are a mixture of Herefords and Highlands. The Hereford family is an all girl team of stud cattle. We place an emphasis on selecting and breeding for exceptional temperant and sound structure.

Our Highland family is newer to the team and has our only male with little Clyde who is still his mummy’s boy.

Our Cows

Our cattle are two distinct breeds - Herefords and Highlands

As a registered Hereford stud, we strive to produce sound healthy animals bred for the Australian conditions. Our Herefords compete at shows and have quiet temperaments. They are big, friendly and love attention.

The Highlands, or ‘herry cooos’ are ideal for small acreages. They are tough and thrive in the cooler tablelands climate. They are very hairy, enjoy a good brush and love treats.
