I had Ken for 12 years. By my side 24/7.  You have to ask God why did you only give man’s best friend only so many years to be with us? I think because if you have been with me more than 12 years I wouldn’t have been able to bear the pain and heartache, leaving me. It tore me up for three days. Rest in peace little buddy.

RAISING HIGHLAND CATTLE FOR BEEF Raising Highland Cattle for beef is an excellent idea for niche, grass-fed markets or homesteading, but not for high-volume commercial production. They produce lean, high-quality, and flavorful meat with low input costs. Why It’s a Good Idea (Pros)High-Quality Beef: - Highland beef is renowned for being lean, tender, and nutritious, with lower cholesterol than many other breeds. - Foraging Ability: They are exceptionally hardy, browsing on brush, weeds, and rough forage, reducing the need for expensive feed. - Low Maintenance: They have few health issues and excellent calving ease, making them suitable for beginners. - Niche Marketability: They are ideal for direct-to-consumer sales, farmer's markets, and farm-gate sales, often fetching premium prices. Why It Might Not Be (Cons) - Slow Growth Rates: Highlands take longer to reach processing weight compared to breeds like Angus, making them less profitable for high-volume beef production. - Smaller Yields: Being a smaller breed, they yield less meat per animal. - Horn Management: All Highlands have horns, requiring careful handling to ensure safety. - Less Marbling: While flavorful, they often have less fat, which can result in a leaner product that may require longer, slow-cooking methods
