Recipe and ingredients
It's one thing to have small highlands, producing them is something totally different. In order to produce genetically small highlands, you must have BOTH the correct recipe and the proper ingredients. If you use a bad recipe, it won't matter how great your ingredients are, and if you have bad ingredients, even a top notch recipe will yield poor results.

Both the recipe and ingredients have been a work in progress for us for 20 years. We have been making improvements in both ingredients and the recipe, adding new lines and working to ever improve the ingredients.

If your breeder sells everything they produce, they are not/have not been taking the steps necessary to see if they are on the right track, if they have the right ingredients and/or the right recipe. If your breeder is selling adults, they are likely selling bad ingredients. What price would you put on breeding stock that is producing top quality calves?

These two heifers are both chondro positive and are similar ages (you can tell by the coat). The calf on the left is from one of our very successful recipes out of tried and true ingredients. But the calf on the right is from our latest recipe out of our latest line of ingredients.
The heifer on the right is a "high five" calf and literally the product of all of the culling record keeping and selective breeding and honing of our herd. The larger calf is 94% Highland while the smaller calf is 97% highland. Both calves are the product of retaining our calves for many generations to witness and build upon progress made.

10 days ago sweet Dolly came up lame on her front left.
She presented like She had foot rot so we treated accordingly.
She did not respond. Tonight we had our vet out to radiograph her elbow. There is not a cow in the world that would allow 2 strangers to work on her, no halter, no chute and no sedation, just her mumma and a bucket of grain is all it took to keep her calm while our vet team - Doubletree Veterinary Clinic - worked on her. Radiographs showed her elbow joint is CLEAN which was our greatest worry as it's a death sentence. Her scapular is fractured which we pray with rest, pain meds and time will heal. We received the best case scenario news tonight. My heart is happy, my sweet Dolly gets to live. These cows are my babies and I will go to any length to ensure they live a beautiful life on our ranch 🥰

Every now and then you get a special little nugget like this. Refuses to suck on anything after trying everything so you go back to a baby bottle how it all started with my very first one Hairy❤️ I already know I'm going to get so attached to this girl

I want everybody to meet this special lady! Amanda Kibby is a blessing that I wish everybody could have the pleasure of meeting and seeing her smile ❤️With her permission she's allowed me to share a little bit of her story. Unfortunately Amanda has been delt cards nobody wants in life with heart failure at way to young of an age. Her husband and son drove her out here with her in the backseat all the way from Indiana for her to have her "Well Wish" she calls it and instead of calling in hospice she's here picking up her forever friend. This steer has a bad hip and has a forever limp but just like Amanda, he just enjoys living life! These two are the perfect pair and I couldn't be more blessed to be able to provide this sweet lady with her wish 🥰❤️❤️The smile on her face says it all

20 years ago, Sheril and I set out to make Highlands the same size as our very small registered Dexter cattle in both chondro and non chondro.
This herd is a mixture of chondro positive micro sized registered dexter cows in red and dun and black and some of our high percentage chondro positive highland cows. There is one older red 100% highland cow (she's in the right at the beginning of the video) and one white 3 year old 100% highland bull (he's at the last feed bunk at the end of the video. You can see his horns) in this video that are non chondro as well.
It's one thing to have physically small highlands. It's quite another thing to have genetically small highlands that reproduce genetically small offspring.
It took a lot of trials and a lot of errors before we got here. It was a long time before we figured out which pairings and individuals actually produced offspring that matured to be small adults. Since those first successes, the time between new successes has decreased and we now find that we are making bigger strides with less time between steps in progress. But this success is due to the diligence from day one as we set our goal and retained high breeding standards in all aspects of our breeding process.
There is no mini highland breed. There is only a standard highland breed. To create a new breed, there must be consistency in calf crop and a big enough difference between standard highlands and the new breed. This will never happen at the rate these "minis" are being bred now. It's like the Wild West out there where literally anything goes.
Standard highlands with the dwarf chondro gene alone are just dwarf highlands with standard sized genetics and chondro. These standard size dwarfs are flooding the "mini highland" genetics with standard genetics. The infiltration of standard genetics through sickly but small standard genetic highlands, stunted and small but standard genetics, young cattle represented as older animals which have standard genetics, and these dwarf standard highlands, is quickly diluting what few genetically small highlands exist.
There are no short cuts.

For reference, I am 5'11.

20 years ago, I fell in love with the highland breed.
When I told my wife that I wanted to get some, she said that they were too big for our property, for our family, and for the goals of our farm.
When I suggested that we could make them the same size as our very tiny Dexter cattle, she said, "do you know how long that would take?
It took 40 years and a closed herd to create the Lowline and mini
Hereford breeds of cattle ". When I told her that highlands come in 7 colors, she responded, "when do you want to start the project?".
Our goal was always to reduce the genetic size of our highlands so they were the same size as our Dexters. Our Dexters have always been small for the breed, measuring 38-41" for non chondro and
32-37" for chondro mature cattle.
It took a very long time and a ton of trial and a ton of error and a lot of cattle and a lot of money to get to where we are now. Since the beginning, it has just been a hobby for us, something that we did for pleasure. We were doing this project for ourselves with the goal of producing a herd of waist high highland cattle like we had with our Dexters. We didn't cut corners, everything we did was aimed at the goal of producing a herd for ourselves that would bring us pleasure and a sense of accomplishment.
The time and methodical and systematic approach is paying off as we see progress in our breeding program.
I worry about the future prospect of the mini highland. It is so beloved, but it seems like the wild west out there where anything goes.
