Meet the Highlands / Our story

Welcome to our info page about our gentle giants! Our Poll Highland cattle—Basil, Butterscotch, Brandy, Margie, and Topsy—are not just beautiful; they have the sweetest natures. They adore pats, brushes, and tasty treats, making them a joy to be around.

The term “Poll” means these cattle have no horns, giving them a cuddly, teddy bear-like appearance. Their grand heads, adorned with long fringes that often cover their eyes, are paired with distinctive features that make them truly memorable.

Highland cattle come in a variety of stunning hair colors, including black, brindled, red, yellow, and dun. There’s much debate among breeders about which color is the most desirable, adding to the unique charm of each animal.

Come and get to know our lovely Highlands—they’re waiting for some love and attention!

Our Story

We are a young farming family following our dream! To raise our boys on the land with all the things they could possibly dream of. Four years ago, we purchased this beautiful land and embraced the joys and challenges of farming beef cattle. With our two wonderful boys by our side, we’ve worked tirelessly to create a nurturing environment.

One of our proudest achievements was transforming our cattle yards into the stunning venue for our wedding. There’s something truly special about the calming atmosphere beneath the fig trees, and we would love to share this beautiful space with you.

To us, our cattle are more like pets, and it’s always difficult to part with them. This deep bond inspired us to shift our focus to breeding gentle Poll Highland cattle. All of our Highlands are registered with the Poll Highland Cattle Society Inc., and we’re excited to share that they have started their IVF journey, promising many beautiful calves in the near future.

Balancing our day jobs, family life, and farming has taught us the importance of quality time together. We’ve come to realize that creating memories and sharing special moments means more than any material gift. This insight led us to develop high-end experiences designed for special occasions, allowing others to create lasting memories here on our farm with their favourite people.

Join us on this journey as we cultivate our farm, our family, and the special experiences we offer!
