Heritage Highland Cattle
Registered, traditionally raised Highlands in Central Alberta
About the Highland Breed
Highland cattle are known for their hardiness, gentle nature, and ability to thrive in challenging climates. As one of the oldest registered cattle breeds in the world, they are valued for their longevity, low input requirements, and calm temperaments.
Well-suited to life on native pasture, Highlands are efficient foragers and adapt naturally to Alberta’s seasons. Their beef is lean, flavourful, and naturally lower in cholesterol while remaining high in protein and essential minerals.
Beyond their productivity, Highlands play an important role in conservation grazing, helping to maintain grasslands and support healthy ecosystems.
