Our Highland Cattle: A Symbol of Harmony and Heritage
It all began in 2016 with the arrival of five cows and a bull. Today, our herd of Highland cattle, an ancient breed originating from Scotland, roams freely across our land, year-round. With their long, rugged coats, these majestic animals are as hardy as they are emblematic.
A Life of Balance and Care
Each calf stays close to its mother for the first year before gradually joining the rest of the herd. We keep just one bull on-site, and collaborate with other certified farms to ensure healthy genetic diversity, in partnership with the Canadian Highland Cattle Society. Every day, our dedicated team ensures the herd’s well-being with great care and compassion, supported by a trusted local veterinarian who knows each animal by name.
An Emblem of the Land
More than just farm animals, Highland cattle embody the spirit of our property, living in harmony with nature, honouring tradition, and staying deeply rooted in the land. Their presence here tells a story of balance, authenticity, and purpose, at the very heart of our mission.
Highland Cattle
Recognizable by their striking red fur, sweeping horns, and gentle temperament, they stand as proud ambassadors of our commitment to responsible, local, and authentic farming.
