Our Legacy of Quality & Integrity
For us, breeding Mini Highland cows isn’t just a business – it’s a passion and a calling. From the beginning, our vision has been to provide cattle that bring joy, companionship, and long-term value to families and farms alike.
Every step of our program is guided by responsibility and integrity. We follow the best breeding practices, uphold strict genetic standards, and ensure full compliance with USDA and APHIS regulations.

Commitment to Excellence in Breeding
At Mini Moo Highlands, we go above and beyond to ensure every Mini Highland cow is bred for optimal health, temperament, and longevity. Our breeding program is guided by strict protocols and industry best practices, including:
-
USDA & APHIS Compliance: We adhere to all U.S. Department of Agriculture and Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service standards, ensuring the highest levels of animal health and welfare.
-
State Agricultural Standards: We comply fully with state regulations to ensure our practices are ethical, sustainable, and environmentally responsible.
-
Expert Breeding Techniques: We practice selective breeding to preserve and strengthen superior genetics. Each calf receives the best nutrition, veterinary health screenings, and early care to set them up for success.
Our Ranch: Mini Moo Highlands
Our ranch is a little slice of heaven, on a historic 160-year-old property nestled under century-old oak trees. Purchased in 2021, it has become both our family home and the heart of our breeding program.
As a small, family-run farm, we give each of our Mini Highland cows the utmost care and attention. We prioritize a low-stress environment and use fenceline weaning to ensure calves transition smoothly when moving to their forever homes. Nothing makes us happier than seeing the joy these calves bring to the families who welcome them.
The Highland Cow Breed
Our Mini Highland cows are truly a treasure. Originating from the rugged Highlands of Scotland, these cattle are known for their:
-
Distinctive, long, flowing coats
-
Iconic long horns
-
Exceptional hardiness and adaptability
Mini Highlands are smaller than their full-sized relatives, making them the perfect fit for small-acreage farms and family homesteads. We offer a variety of sizes – from micro-sized Highlands to mid-sized cows – to suit the needs of our customers.
For centuries, Highlands have been cherished for their adaptability, friendly temperament, and premium quality. At Mini Moo Highlands, we are proud to carry on this tradition while focusing on sustainable, family-centered breeding.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to share the joy of Highland ownership with families and farms across the country. These gentle creatures bring happiness, companionship, and beauty wherever they go – and we want others to experience that same magic.
Every calf is treated with love, respect, and care from the moment they are born. By raising our cows in a nurturing environment, we ensure they grow into healthy, affectionate companions that enrich the lives of those around them.
At Mini Moo Highlands, we don’t just raise cattle – we raise joy, and we are proud to share it with you.
