Young Sprout Farms

Young Sprout Farms We raise registered Scottish Highland Cattle for both breeding and grass fed beef. Highland Cattle are a heritage breed known for their hardiness and ease

Highland cattle (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Heelain cattle) are a Scottish cattle breed. They have long horns and long wavy coats that are coloured black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver (looks white but with a black nose) or dun, and they are often raised primarily for their meat. They originated in the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland and were first mentioned in the 6th

century AD. The first herd book described two distinct types of Highland cattle but, due to crossbreeding between the two, only one type now exists and is registered. They have since been exported to other parts of the world such as Australia, Norway and Canada. They are a hardy breed due to their native environment, the Scottish Highlands. This results in long hair, gives the breed its ability to overwinter. However, this has the consequences of a lack of heat tolerance. Bulls can weigh up to 800 kilograms (1,800 pounds) and cows up to 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds). Their milk generally has a very high butterfat content, and their meat, regarded as of the highest quality, is gaining mainstream acceptance as it is low in cholesterol.
