[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 76303, member: 1258"] My grandfather started with Highland cattle back in the early sixties when he bought the ranch. He got them because they look great to show off and he needed cows that took care of themselves. He didn't live on the ranch and only saw them twice a week. Supposedly they are great to eat (must say I have never eaten one) and I know they are good milkers. Something to remember with them is their bags look smaller because they keep a lot of it inside. We would still be breeding them but they aren't worth that much up here. We just have two purebreds left, one is 15 the other 14. The 14 year old just gave us a beautiful boy this year with our purebred Angus bull. When these two have to go we will probably go out and get another one just to have around the ranch. Medic 24 - it is a great cross. They are a little hairy for what our feedlots want but ours have grown big and been great. We have one Angus/Highland cross cow and a few others that are Angus/Highland/Charolais, they are great mothers and raise fantastic calves. [/QUOTE]
