Our Cows
Our cows have become a part of our family and we enjoy all the hard work that goes into them. Grass fed in the summer and supplemented with grain in the winter, they fill out and keep their beautiful structure and color. We just had a new crop of babies that came in the spring of 2025. We are excited to see where they go!
Lallybroch
This pass year we dipped into raising mini highland cattle. This is our first girl and we absolutely love her. She is an awesome addition to our growing herd and we can't wait to see her first mini highland baby in the future. For now, we are having fun watching her personality bloom here on the farm and giving her all the cookies.
Sandy
Purchased in 2023 our Sandy girl came with her full sister Frenchy to expand our highlander crew. We couldn't be more excited to have her here on the farm. She will be exposed to a dunn bull again this summer and we can't wait to see what the spring of '26 has in store for us.
Frenchy
This girl is a full sister to Sandy. She has crooked horns and a ton of personality. She is an excellent mama and has given us two beautiful calves so far. This most recent calf was an amazing silver/dunn bull calf.
Rey
Going back to our Disney roots, we went with the theme of star wars. Our daughter decided on Rey for this sweet yearling. She is daughter to Sandy from '24. She is home grown here on the farm and we have turned her into a puppy dog. She isn't quite ready to breed but we sure are having fun with her in the meantime with her golden bangs and spunky personality.
Why mini's?
Besides their cuteness factor, minis are awesome cows for smaller properties. They do less damage to your pastures because they eat 1/3 the amount of a normal size cow. Also known for being pretty gentle on the fences. They're so gentle around kids and other animals, we never fear walking into their pen or pasture. They make for perfect introduction cows for kids wanting to get into showing cows in the 4h in the bucket calf show.

Wanting beef???
​
Mini cows have shorter cells. Shorter cells mean more tender beef. So if you are looking for a cow for beef purposes, they naturally have a better flavor. The advantages of this breed, are the smaller cuts of meat, the higher stocking rate per acre, and high feed conversion rates (efficient converters)
