What Are Mini Highland Cattle?
Mini Highlands are a smaller version of the traditional Highland cow, bred selectively for their small stature and endearing characteristics (like their famed shaggy, fluffy coats!). A Mini Highland cow full grown stands between 36-44 inches tall at the shoulder.
Because they originate from the Gaelic region of Scotland known as the Highlands, Highlands cattle are hardy animals and thus highly adaptable to various climates. They can also thrive in different management styles, whether free-roaming on a large pasture or living on a smaller homestead |

Why Buy a Mini Highland Cow?
Low Maintenance Needs – Quite simply, a mini cow requires less space and fewer resources compared to standard-sized cattle, and their modest size makes them easier to transport and manage as well.
Excellent Companions — With their docile, friendly nature, a Highland Mini makes a great pet and companion. They’re also wonderful around children and can even form bonds with other animals! Sustainable – Mini Highlands are grazers, contributing to natural land management by controlling overgrown pastures. Versatile – These cattle can serve various roles on a property, from providing nutrient-rich manure for gardens to simply being adorable additions to your ranch's aesthetic. |
