[QUOTE="gallowaygirl, post: 725759, member: 8844"] Personally, having done a lot of research between Galloways and Highlanders (more than I thought was possible), and having knowledge of Highlands and those who own them, I have never seen any advantage to owning Highlands over Galloways. Finding true quality Highlands (that actually look like BEEF animals-most have very weak hindquarters and forequarters) in the United States is difficult, whereas finding Galloways is much easier. However, the only way I would ever raise Highlands would be if I dehorned all of them, which is what most of the people I know, who raise them locally, do. Dehorning makes them safer to work with, easier to handle (i.e: don't require special equipment), and you don't lose any of the characteristics-except the horns and "aesthetic appeal". [/QUOTE]
