what do you think of highland cattle just for a hobby and to butcher for your own use, and to sell a little of the meat it is suppose to be better tasting then angus.
The best part is the calves look like little tiny EwoksVictoria":joj4wi0r said:Highlands are pretty much the perfect cow for a hobby. Low maintenance animals. They don't eat much, if you breed to another pure Highland the chance of calving difficulties is slim to none and they are easily trained to respond well to their owner.
As far as meat - well it's healthy. I wouldn't say it is better than Angus. As someone else said it is very lean, not my thing, a little too tough. However, you can market it as being really lean and healthy.
