We will be there!

The NSW Highland Breeders Group National Show Committee is proud to announce the return of the AHCS National Show in Bathurst, NSW, from 5 – 7 June 2026.

This event brings together Highland cattle breeders, exhibitors, and enthusiasts from across the country in a celebration of heritage, knowledge, and community. Up to 100 Highland cattle are expected to be on display, representing breeders from across Australia and showcasing the very best of the breed.

The show promises to be an exciting gathering for exhibitors, AHCS members, Highland cattle enthusiasts, the broader community of Bathurst and the Central West of NSW. With something for everyone, from serious cattle judging to family-friendly activities, the event is expected to draw thousands of visitors to Bathurst, along with an even larger audience online via livestream and social media. The highlight of the weekend will be the judging of Highland cattle by an internationally renowned judge, culminating in the crowning of the Supreme Highland Exhibit.

Save the date and book your accommodation early. The Panorama Motel Bathurst is just a short walk from the showgrounds. Camping is also available at the Bathurst Showground, and can be booked directly through Bathurst Showground website.

Keep an eye out for more exciting updates coming very soon!

See you in Bathurst, NSW in June 2026!

A rare opportunity to acquire animals of this pedigree in this price range.

Ready for their new home are 2x Dun Steers and 2x Bulls (Dun and Red). All registered with the Australian Highland Cattle Society as FIB (Fully Imported Bloodline) - these boys were bred from embryos purchased from Bairsley Highland.
Both intact males are tested non-carriers of NT821 gene. Both elite parents are pictured with further details including show win highlands detailed in links below.

All 4 boys can be scratched, brushed and fed in an open paddock. They have had plenty of handling and would continue to progress nicely as they grow. Inspections/visits welcome.
