Highlands
For many years we enjoyed raising and showing our beautiful Scottish Highland Cattle. We acquired our first cow in the year 2000 and very soon our fold began to grow. Below are the members of our Highland Cattle fold throughout the years.

Shown with her calf, Thistlie.Sheridan of Five Star (43098), Born 5/11/2005Sheridan was an outstanding bull. He was a pleasure to own and handle and sired several of our heifers. Sheridan was awarded Grand Champion at the 2007 Central Washington Fair.Thistlie of Boise Creek (43983), Born 4/4/2006
Beginning with Thistlie we started using the American Highland Cattle Association naming standard. A specific, consecutive letter of the alphabet is assigned to each year. The letter “T” in 2006, “U” in 2007, “V” in 2008, and etc.
