[QUOTE="Gale Seddon, post: 282339, member: 53"] Not to discourage you in any way from Highlands, but from what I've read on several other boards, they are either easy going or wild as cooties (jumping fences and away they go into the wild blue yonder). This is just from reading, NOT my personal experience. I think the trick might be in seeing, live and up-close, the animals you're considering, and if you get them, keep them in a smaller enclosure until they've settled in. Highlands probably do well in your climate. SRR is right about the heritage thing. Highlands are now considered "recovering" by the ALBC (same as Dexters, which we have). As far as taste, I'll have to let you know on that one. In about a month, we're going to a "beef eat-off" (Highland vs. Dexter). A friend of ours will be having a big gathering, featuring all sorts of beef dishes prepared with Dexter and Highland meat, i.e., two of each recipe, one for each breed. I guess we'll have to vote or something, who knows? This should be a lot of fun and very good eating! Good luck with whatever you decide to do with this property. [/QUOTE]
