As is the case with many, our first interaction with Highlands took place on a visit to Scotland. After we decided to relocate to Victoria from Queensland, where we bred Brahmans, we knew we wanted cattle of some sort, but needed to find a breed that would suit the Victorian climate.
Because of the Scottish experience, we started investigating Highlands, mostly for their rugged good looks. But we soon discovered that not only did they look good, but they were reported to be pretty tasty as well.
Further investigations revealed their quiet temperament, something which was a vital component in our decision making as our family consists of two people with special needs.
So, with the decision made, it was time to track down some quality animals and then registered as a fold.
