Highland Cattle Sales
At Highland View Farm, we believe choosing a Highland isn’t just about buying cattle, it’s about finding the right fit for both you and the animal. Our Highlands are handled regularly and encouraged to develop trusting relationships with people. We carefully select for temperament, structure and traditional Highland breed characteristics, producing cattle that are not only beautiful but enjoyable to own. Whether your dream is a pair of paddock companions, a family-friendly pet, or quality registered breeding stock, we’re here to support you long after your new Highland arrives home.
We are registered breeders with the Australian Highland Cattle Society, registered as Southern Coos (1456).

Why Highlands?
-
Hardy & adaptable - Highlands have the ability to withstand hardy conditions and have adapted well to the Australian climate. Their hair is actually a double coat, they have a dense winter coat to help withstand cold conditions which they shed in Spring along with some long guard hairs and then in summer they have a light over coat, both coats act as insulation against the weather. Highlands will also happily forage on under growth and clean up pastures where other breeds wouldn't exist.
-
Great mothering ability - Exceptional maternal characteristics such as easy birthing, milk supply and maternal instincts make them great mothers.
-
Breeding longivity - Highland cows have been known to breed past 18 years of age, having on average 12-14 calves in their life time.
-
Friendly - Naturally docile temperament, they are easy to handle in the yards and will come when called in the paddock. Most highlands will allow you to brush and hand feed them but some do like to stand back and watch!
