| Timberside Farms Highland cattle |
| Taylor, Sydney and Kali doing what Highlands do best, eating plants that other cows pass by and getting fat on it! |
| This is Kali a 2004 registered dun Highland. |
Timberside Farms newest venture is miniature Highland cattle. Highland cattle come from
the Highlands of Scotland and were the first registered breed of cattle with the first herd
book being published in 1885. Highlands are classified as recovering by The American
Livestock Breeds Conservancy.They do not mind the cold weather so little shelter is
needed for them. They also calve easily and are protective mothers. Highlands used to be
much smaller than what they are today.

| Our fold of Scottish Highlands |
In August of 2007 we were lucky enough to have acquired 4 mid to mini sized Highlands from Nat Joslin. We went
all the way to Connecticut to pick them up. Nat has been working on bringing the size of the Highlands down for
several years. The cows are between 42" and 46" in height.
