Caring for a Mini Highland

Miniature cattle are great for small acreages. They can be anywhere to 1/2 or even 1/3 the size of standard cattle, so, therefore, require less feed and land. We encourage the ration of one miniature cow per ½ to 1-acre grass with good quality hay during the winter months.

Mini Scottish Highlands are a very hardy breed of cattle that can withstand harsh cold temperatures in the winter and hot temperatures in the summer with adequate shade and water. They tend to be docile and calm, especially the more you work with and handle them. They can make great outdoor companions, show cattle, or home-raised beef.

Coats

Mini Scottish Highlands have shaggy, solid-colored coats. Their colors can vary from red, black, yellow, dun, white, and silver. We have done some cross-breeding with our Highlands, also giving us a variety of spotted and tipped calves.

Size

Mature size does vary. Micro minis will stay around 36 inches or shorter at the hip. Miniatures will remain between 36-42 inches, and midsize miniatures will reach 42-48 inches. At full mature size, our cattle weigh anywhere between 500-700 lbs.
