That's one reason I quit raising them several years ago. No market unless you're selling the beef. I know a couple of people around here with contracts to supply to local butchers, but otherwise they're hit pretty hard at the sale barn. Which with the trend towards leaner meat, it could be lucrative. You'll just have to find your own niche. I've always said, they need to form a COOP and make an agreement with a large packer. Most Highlands breeders are small herds. Usually less than 10 animals. With that said, they do extremely well on poor forage. I'm thinking about buying a couple just to have around. We have 5 acres right around the house where it's mostly weeds, they make very good brush hogs. Another plus, they don't smell as bad as goats.
