[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 172968, member: 1049"] ~ Highlands do really well up here in this Green Mountain State. They are natural "weed wackers" and have longevity, small calves and seldom are bothered by the bad weather. I did see it mentioned that: "Highland cattle are known as grass fed beef and is the only breed of cattle that is not susceptible to "mad cow" disease. They have a double layer of hair to protect them from the elements that most cattle cannot tolerate." Here is the website I saw it on: [url=http://www.karabinfarms.com/Barnyardfriends.html]http://www.karabinfarms.com/Barnyardfriends.html[/url] The local BIG SH breeder sells alot of his beef in hotdogs and is very sucessful at it. Last year he did start crossing his SH with SimmAngus, and actually bought one of Jeanne's Sim heifers to add to his project. Here is his website: [url=http://www.blackwatchfarm.com]http://www.blackwatchfarm.com[/url] He takes a truck load of his cattle out to Colorado to compete every year at the National Western and does very well. More info and a nice article: Ottauquechee Natural Resources Conservation District-Farmer Discussion Group [url=http://www.vacd.org/onrcd/manafort.html]http://www.vacd.org/onrcd/manafort.html[/url] I might add that many locals have bought Scottish Highlands at auction or traded for them from various places and it is true they revert to a feral nature quickly if they escape. And most new purchase do escape. The woods in this county are full of escaped Scottish Highlanders. I love hearing the stories and reading about the "sightings" of a wooly cow in the woods. [/QUOTE]
