HIGHLANDS

Almond

We had just about given up hope looking for Highlands in the Northeast when we stumbled across Almond. Bringing farming to the next level we quickly realized that getting into mini Highlands was going to be our "big thing." After falling head over heals with this gentle giant we decided we would need to find more. Almond gave us our first birth on the farm. She has been the start of Paint Nights, Cows 'n Coffee, holiday photos and even done some offsight meet and greets.

Atlas

Who doesn't love a southern gentleman? Atlas was a love at first sight (at least for Arielle who is a sucker for tips). Although he was a little shy after his trip up from Alabama he learned the ropes quick. Having an intact bull is a serious matter so it was important to get him aclimated to halter walking quickly. We are very excited for Atlas's journy here and look forward to him establishing himself as our herd sire.

Olive

If you are coming for a farm tour or Cows 'n Coffee Olive will be the star of your experience. Carefull eyeing the farm Olive pays attention to newcomers because she knows that means treats. If you want to feed a mini Highland she will surely fuflil that experience.

Peanut

Her name says it all! Peanut stands at about 33 inches which is also known as micro size in the Highland world. Although she is a little low on the totum poll she knows how to get some attention when it comes to snack time. You can often find Peanut lounging on hay in the winter to keep warm and standing in her water trough to keep cool in the summer.

Cadbury

We were hoping our first farm baby would be a girl so we could keep her. Although we were told momma was bred to another mini Highland but out popped a Hereford cross we were extatic that it was a girl! Cadbury got her name being born on Easter and how ironic our first life born on the farm was born on such a holiday. She has it all-the Hereford red and the Highland fur. We can't wait till Cadbury becomes one of our dams.

Mel

I think Mel helped us understand the word cowlick. Right in the middle of her forhead is the most clear definition of what a cowlick should look like. Although she is shy at first her curiostiy usually gets the best of her and she has to come check out what is going on.

Cara

We probably should have named her Kathy seeing as she is very chatty. Cara can be heard all over the farm sometimes she is talking to us and sometimes she is talking to the other animals on the farm. If talking to Highlands is on your bucket list she is the one for you!
