Ruby and Xena will be home together as pets only 🫶

Xena will be on mummy's milk until March (6months) but we are open to them going as unweaned pair after Xena has gone through her halter and brush training.

If you're interested in a 4yr old cow with calf as pets please reach out (priority given to those on our waitlist)

Ruby loves to be brushed but can be particular so not suitable for young kids. We'd also like to see her in a smaller fold or just her and baby as she can shy off when paired with a bossy cow (and absolutely shines with our quieter cows). She is STRICTLY no breeding due to the very rough delivery of Xena (we can provide more deatila).

Xena is actually going to turn black brindle! Her coat under that baby fuzz is all black so we are excited for her transformation. She is extremely bold and confident. We believe she is chondro (mini gene), but we are awaiting tests to confirm.

Not free or cheap to reflect the time and passion gone into these beauties.

Crazy windy day but the cows were in absolute heaven

A surprise birthday visit to start the day 🥰

The cows absolutely loved their snuggles! The wind was blowing a gale but that's what highlands are made for.

One over achiever mum with 10 little ducklings and the other with just 2 (I think shes the wise mumma)

First time mumma doing a fantastic job of guarding her babies! Aren't they just so cute!!

Her sister also hatch just two wee babies (and was still sitting on her other eggs so we gave her lots of space).

Our 3x F4 lambs!

We will be taking expressions of interest for them soon! Touch base if you're interested (sorry not cheap).

Mable: markings like a purebred and a great temperament, she's pretty great!

Ivory: got all her markings just a bit over marked on the bum/tail, and slightly under on the face. A really sweet chill temperament.

Dolly: what she lacks in markings she makes up with personality, life of the party! She is also polled which is unique at F4 level (so is her F3 mum, we could possibly discuss her mum going for someone interested in breeding polled, mum is also friendly).
