When installing misters to help keep the Highlands cool, Malcolm would like to remind me to keep them out of horn reach, or they will become a carnival🎪 game!
This is why we cant have nice things!

Public Service Announcement

Please STOP✋️ releasing balloons!!🎈

This balloon ended up in my cattle pasture. Fortunately I got to it before one of my animals ate it! (Yes animals will do that!) It can cause them to get very sick, and even DIE!

Please 🙏 STOP ✋️ releasing balloons!! 🎈

To help those new to cattle with the proper terminology!

We receive many inquiries by people asking for a cow! We try to clarify early in the conversation if they are actually searching for a cow(adult) or a calf (baby)?

If you're looking for the perfect heifer to use for weddings look no further! This tiny 8mo white high% Highland heifer is ready to moove! Located in SoCal, and can help arrange transport! SEND PM, MESSAGES LEFT NOT SEEN or RESPONDED TO!

Did you know that some cattle enjoy browsing, eating small shrubs or leaves, almost as much as they do grazing?
In areas with low rainfall and no pasture, branches & leaves can make a welcome treat!

The ability to be able to provide food for your family and knowing where your food comes from, it was ethically & sustainable raised, is life changing!

You could never kill an animal you raised… Is the most ironic statement.

But did you know, there is a strange kind of disconnect in judging the hands that raise their own food while trusting a drive-thru window to feed your children something you never saw live,
never saw raised, never saw processed,
never asked questions about.

You could never butcher a chicken, but you will hand your child nuggets shaped by machines, seasoned for addiction,
wrapped in paper, and call it normal.

You could never eat from your own pasture, but you will eat from a box,
a bag, a fryer, a factory line, and never wonder what had to happen before it reached your plate.

You could never stomach the blood,
but you trust the label.

You could never face the life, but you consume the death.

You could never raise it, love it, feed it,
thank God for it, and use it with reverence.

But every morning, you rub chemicals beneath your arms, spray fragrance over your skin, swallow ingredients you can not pronounce, and call the farmer cruel.

Maybe the cruelty is not in knowing where your food comes from.

Maybe the cruelty is in forgetting.
For the farmer remembers.

The farmer sees the life.
The farmer carries the weight.
The farmer gives thanks.
The farmer wastes little.

And while the world grows farther from the soil, the barn, the blood, and the truth…

Some of us still believe food should come with gratitude, not ignorance.

Thank God for the Farmer and all the Homesteaders pulling up chairs at this Grand Table of animal husbandry. ❤️ 🤠
Hats off to the men and women embracing where their food truly comes from. 👏

Cattle Safety 101
This is the #1 reason not to buy a bottle calf from an irresponsible seller!
We are only going to see an increase in injuries happening in the cattle industry, to those who are unfamiliar with cattle behavior, who mistakingly treat them like a big dog! Cattle are large livestock and should be treated as such, never underestimated or allowed to act in a way that could become dangerous.

We would like to Thank the for having us at their Santee Summer Knights Medieval Festival this weekend. Everyone of course loved the Highland calves and we got to meet so many Highland cow lovers, even Jon Snow!
We cant wait for the next one!
