About
High Country Highland Cattle
Our Story
It started in 2008 when we bought a property in the Milawa gourmet region. The farm is very wet in winter so we went in search of a breed of cattle that can handle the damp conditions. Our search led us to one of the most amazing breeds of cattle in the world, Highlands.
​
As a rare heritage breed we have had to slowly breed our stock numbers up on the farm as purchasing the cattle breed is limited.
​
The breed dwindled in popularity in Australia due to their slow growing nature in favour of fast growing cattle that can be produced at a higher frequency. This is changing slowly as more and more consumers are becoming aware of the benefits of slow grown quality beef.
​
Sitting on 110 acres in the valleys of the High Country our farm produces a small herd of registered Highlands.
They are a rugged breed that can adapt to a wide range of feed and climates.

Did you know Queen Elizabeth and the Royal Family maintain a purebred fold of Highland Cattle at
Balmoral Castle.
