The popularity of Highland cattle is growing!

01/08/2024

Highlands come in the following 6 colors red, yellow, white, black, dun, silver & can be brindle, frosted or parti colored on top of a base color.

Red Highlands genetically carry the building blocks of red and red alone. That can vary slightly because red can be a result of the recessive red gene or the wild type red gene. Red is a base color and a starting point for any shade in the red spectrum. All red Highlands carry either  two recessive...

Found this pic of a beautiful, but huge Highland in Ireland. I think we'll stick with our small framed Highlands which are about half this size!

Bottle baby Myth...
Only bottle babies are friendly!
FALSE!
Q: What does it take to make them friendly?
A: Time & Patience!!

I don't raise bottle calves unless absolutely necessary!
I do spend a lot of time with my cattle though, and most of our younger stock are halter broke and all are quite easy to work around.

Malcolm came here as a pasture raised weaned calf that had only been handled for his vet visit & travel papers. Needless to say he was quite skittish and feisty, frequently trying to kick me. I had to laugh every time & it made me even more determined to win him over! Last June he got tossed by another cow/bull & stuck in a feeder upside down, possibly even overnight. His condition was quite guarded as he was unable to stand or walk for 7 days. This required some pretty intensive recovery & rehab. Round the clock meal service, therapy & a genius husband saved this guy's life...now he's one of the sweetest little bulls we own!

Another SCAMMER account with stolen legit farm pics! If farms would Watermark especially their calf pics, it won't eliminate scammers, but it will make it more work to steal your pics! They have a website too!

To those Selling semen do you have a contract for a single cow or single calf produced?
Pay attention to the following...

"A single unit of semen, normally used to inseminate one cow, will instead fertilize the oocytes from several donors"

That means people are paying for 1 straw but could be making multiple calves!

556 oocytes from 15 Akaushi (Red Wagyu) donors were aspirated by the team at Trans Ova Genetics on site here at Christensen Genetics today.

One donor single-handedly produced 87 oocytes!

These unfertilized eggs were removed from each donor with an ultrasonic guided needle hooked to a vacuum pump.

They will be fertilized by semen from elite sires tomorrow morning. A single unit of semen, normally used to inseminate one cow, will instead fertilize the oocytes from several donors in an in vitro application.

The fertilized oocytes will then spend the next five days growing in the lab in a specially designed media.

The embryos that are viable at that point will be sent to us in an incubator next week.

We will transfer the viable embryos fresh into recipients (which will function as surrogate mothers) that are 6 - 8 days past expressing estrus.

Those embryos that turn into viable pregnancies will be born here in Weston, Idaho next September!

When you drive past and see a bunch of black Angus cows nursing red Akaushi calves here next fall, this is where some of them came from!
