- In this video I share my 3 big reasons why I chose to raise Scottish Highland Cattle on our farm. Out of the many different breeds of cattle, this heritage breed is a uniquely beautiful choice for our hobby farm.

My dad raised Scottish highlander cattle for a time and I along with my brother helped him. They are more like a 1000 pound dog than beef breed. Very gentle and hardy.
Thats cool! They definitely can be like big pets
Saying Howdy from Adler Farms. I love to watch the highlanders.
Just saw you with Chad from Adler Farm. Beautiful cattle you have. New happy subscriber
Hi from Adler farms family !! Looks like a great channel and interesting,can't wait to watch!
Hay there jumped over from Chad at adler farms. Great to have another awesome channel to learn from. Please the more videos the better
Howdy, from way down under, Australia. Just watched Chad of Adler Farm picking up his young Highland bull calf.
These Highland cattle look so nice . But hate to meet a temperamental bull with those horns.
Only once experienced a charging (fast run) bull while retrieving my RC glider from base of the hill we were flying from, in what believed an empty paddock. Foolishly, too far from the fence to run I stood firm, and surprise a short distance away, the bull stopped looked, then turrned aside then even started away, but turned back.again and stood. Maybe a minute we stood facing off. The bull dragged a front foot on the ground, head a bit low. I dared to start slowly towards my glider, about 200 yards away. The bull walked towards me, I stood still, but even more scary to me the bull walked up to me, brushed my arm with a horn. I was petrified, but finally put a hand on the near horn. The bull turned its head, so I brushed down its face, and the let it sniff my hand.
Finally after rubbing the face and head more it snorted then turned and trotted away.
I still shaking retrieved the glider and departed. Took over an hour to relax
Still hate to think what could have resulted, had that encounter become bad. I simply was not aware of the bull there, as we had flown above that paddock from the hill above for years. The dairy farm only had cows there occasionally. Well I survived, and learned a lesson
Other model glider friends saw it, none dared to try helping, and I do not blame them. Still do not know what about standing still made the bull stop its run towards me, or why it became so docile finally, just glad it was.
Good Morning, came over from Adler Farms, looking forward to learning more about the Highland breed.
Chad said to come over and say hi!
You need to make more videos. This is very interesting love to see more.
From Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦
Hello from Northern Illinois, Adler Farms sent us your way!
Hi, Chad sent me, Addler Farms, just thought I'd drop by and say Hi, I'm Chez, I live in Valencia, Spain. We have a tiny, tiny 1500sqm fruit trees and a flower garden. Would love to keep hens, but my rescued hunting dogs would probably eat them! Love Highland cattle, I'm a Brit, so a beautiful Highland cow is something I grew up with, they are gorgeous beasts!! Anyway, just thought I'd say Hi! xx chez Lliria Valencia Spain
Sent from Adler Farms. Glad I came.
Chad sent me !!!!!! Love your cattle.
Just saw you with Chad Adler Farms. You definitely have a great thing going. I hope you post more stuff. So many of us love watching this stuff!
Beautiful breed! Adler farms has introduced you for our viewing. Can’t wait to watch your clips
I love the highland breed, so cute!
That was great 😆 , being of Scottish decent , I think that you made the right decision, Cheers
Thanks David!

Love that smile
New Sub from Adler Farms love highlands ❤️
You're living my dream!😊♥️
Love your “pets.” Seriously, the herd is impressive.
Howdy, as Adler says. Sub’d 😁
Adler farms sent me love your cows.
Hey came over from Adler Farms. Love highlands.
Hi Chad from Adler Farms sent me love your Highlanders. Good luck getting your Vlog ready ❤️
Man, my wife and I are loving your videos. Especially this one. With each one of your points we’d exchange looks as if you were reading our minds/ story. We’re definitely looking for Highlands and would love to get on your list for future calves. Keep up the great work on the videos and have a blessed new year.
Thanks, Im glad you like the videos! I hope to keep making them, I dont know where youre located, but if its near OK if you ever do buy some I would be glad to help you out
I really enjoyed that. I actually live in the Scottish Highlands so seeing these cattle is not an uncommon sight. It was just nice to get your take on the breed and to learn how they adapt to a very different climate. By way of comparison it's early July here and the outdoor temperature today is 52º - colder than your winter's day. It's not always that cold here in the summer but we never get anywhere close to 100º.
New subscriber. Just watched Chad from Adler pick up Cinnamon's baby. These are beautiful animals. I have never seen this breed. Looking forward to watching your older videos and would love to see any new ones you would share with us.
Chad sent me over here. .love your videos
Getting our Highlands in the spring. Can't wait!
Thats awesome, congratulations!
Yay! I'm living vicariously through you. I grew up around cattle working on a feed lot; rode horses most of the day as well. I miss those days (city girl now); I need to get back to that better life!
Howdy from down the road, came over from Adler Farm!
Been through that a lot... I run one electric wire on 5' no climb fence to keep them off it. Scottish Highland are majestic creatures & funny characters. I have Scottish Highland and Belted Galloway cattle. Cheers from Upstate New York!
Those belted Galloways are cool ones too!
@@100AcreWoodHighlands they r wonderful mothers but more high-strung. The hybrid males r crazy! I love my Highlands more...
Chad from Adler Farms sent us over
Highland cows are BEAUTIFUL !!!❤❤
Chad said to say Hi! Also we would like to see more VIDEOS 👌
Hello you have a beautiful heard of highlands.
Just watched you with chad on Adler farms. Love your cattle and farm.
Chad (Adler Farms) sent me ☺️ Mooooo!
Hello from Michigan. Like you highland cows. I have always like that breed. See you on chads channel and thought I would say hi.
my dad raised angus steer on his grandfather's farm. the place is a tree farm now. If i'm in a position to have dairy cows, jersey and highlands are what i'd go for. that high butterfat in the milk of highlands, and jersey's are mine and a close friend's favorite breed.
Yingtheeevee Highlands don’t make much milk though and are predominantly beef cows
Highlands are definitely great animals to raise. I personally don't know of anyone who does milk them, I just know it had been done in the past
Hey y'all, you really thought this through very well. You make a very strong case for raising this breed. Yes you did find out that folks will buy the calves like Chad from Adler farms did today. take core bye for now
Just saw you as Chad bought a bull calf from you and just now subscribed to your channel. And I just watched the 3 Reasons to Raise Highland Cows. And fell in love with the Highland Cattle after only one video! Wish that I was MUCH younger to have my own. But, since I am not I can enjoy your Highlands from watching your video!
So you got your five thousand congratulations
First time watching ur channel ,
I just love how u know them by name,they r very lucky to have a owner like u,,,
They r beautiful cows,
Great video, stay safe everyone,,
Thank you! You stay safe too
Well hello from Adler farmstand!! Your camel are just beautiful. I’ve been to Scotland and saw my first highland heard must be 35 years ago now and they’re just as pretty now as they were then. I will most certainly be following you and your family. Oh my children are all raised and gone and their children are raised and gone, off the careers that is! 🧑🏻🦳🤟. Oh yes and congratulations to you and your bride may you have many more years of love and fun ahead of you.
These cows are great! I just found your channel today and subscribed. Keep the videos coming. We just got ours last year, they have a hilarious personality sometimes.

Adler farms sent me subscribed
I am a new subscriber..lived your video..the cinematography and the information was beautiful and interesting. I hope you will make some more videos.
Referred to your channel by Chad at Adler farms.
If I raised them I would turn vegetarian and never part from them lol. I have seen them here in Denmark too, they seem so gentle.
Howdy! Here from Adler Farm!
Hey..Chad sent me. Looking forward to watching.
Hi were new from Adler Farms I love your page and will be back God Bless
I want a blond one. I would call her Appa.
Hey, coming over to check out your channel from Adler Farms! Beautiful cattle.
:) Being from Tulsa, it's really neat to find out one of the cutest cows can survive our summer heats.
I'm from Adler farms scriber and I was told to come over and tell you hi so I'm a new scriber
Hi there just heard about you from CHAD ADLER FARMS. I had no idea they raise these HERE I watch a channel from the UK Farmer Richard an they have Hugh farm an they have highlands they are very majestic cow. I'm say HI an subscribed to your channel.
How’s your came over from Adler Farms. We have Highlanders about a mile an a half from us. They are beautiful.
Congrats on reaching 992 I may know who subscribed
Found you from @Adlerfarms Chad!!
Chad sent me from Adler farm
We have raised angus in previous years.. we have not had any in about 5 yrs. we have 4 acres. With a pond I have been researching these babies for yrs. curious if 2 heifers and 1 bull on 4 acres is enough for them I have had up to 6 in previous yrs. but I really want to raise them and make sure they have enough room
You’ll never have an issue selling off cows. They’re in high demand and very few breeders of this breed. Hell, I’m all the way in CA. And I’d drive out to OK for half a dozen.
Thanks! I hope it will be easy when the time comes
Get on the Scottish Highland Association. They’ll list you as a breeder or a beef provider.
There’s a bunch of homesteaders all throughout the Midwest that loves this breed. You’ll never have an issue. I drove to Idaho for ours. The quality of the beef is off the charts. Way better than over rated Angus.
I love your videos. I'm just wondering if their horns fall off? They're so beautiful
Thank you. I've seen two people that have posted pictures of their highlands with broken horns from injuries. But other than that, they should not fall off
We have scottish Highland cattle here in Northern norway
Very cool, I bet that's good country for highlands
@@100AcreWoodHighlands yep. If we just had a few more acres…
Howdy coming from Adler Farms
Chad Adler sent me. Hi. From old mexico
Good video! Glad you made the location of the cattle known so we could get a greater context for the animals !(I just subscribed today!)
I’m also out of Oklahoma and am looking into getting Scottish Highland cattle, I want to have a family milk cow,for cream and butter and then just have a few out in the field for GOOOD BEEF!!
I’ll look you up on Facebook cause I’d like to buy some very soon!
Thats awesome, glad you're interested in raising some
English. Love the Scotish highlans.
Hello from Canada
I can see million reasons to raise them, but i can give you one why not (for me). I just couldn´t part with them. So maybe two affection ones, but for whole of their life. Call me a wimp, but that´s just me :P
that is a great point! Its hard to part with any of them at all once your attached to them.
Nonesense Speaker mmm I agree. I could probably handle poultry🤷♀️ but since I don’t eat red meat anyways (for taste and texture reasons) I would probably only raise other animals for milk and get eggs and meat from poultry 🤷♀️😂❤️
You can have Highland cows for 20 years, and they keep producing calves for all that time!
Plus, they thrive on poor pasture where even sheep would stuggle to graze: They give a whole lot and ask very little in return........truly Scottish, LOL!!
@Donald J Trump Trump Jesus Trump git your own cattle and raise em. Anyway you have a lot of capital to start up a ranch of your own, it'll be fun lol
@Donald J Trump Trump I suggest you start looking into cattle raising your gonna need it to feed that red lust
Your super smart and i like the fact you know what your talking about here and you treat them all very well young man thank you for your inspiration and your best advice sweetheart ttyllove you muahhhh kisses 🥰😉🙏🦋🦋🦋🤗🤔😁
Ridgelife sent me.
You need to build those livestock brush type body scratchers for your horned puppies….
I would love to get them one. I've seen pictures of people using street sweepers as scratching posts but I haven't been able to find one.
Very interesting information
I have loved Highlands since I first saw them. They were a firm favourite of the British Queen Mother and I think the Queen herself has a soft spot for them. How about letting the people know the simple secret answer to telling a fully grown male from a female in waist deep grass.
the horns cow horns go up . bull go out to the sides
Came over to watch a few vids from Adler Farms. Edit to say they remind me of Ewoks for some reason.
Do they need protection from coyotes and other predators or do they fend for themselves in the herd?
We do have coyotes and bobcats, but I've never had an issue with them bothering the cows. But we also have three decent sized dogs at the house
Geez, don't tell Whatisname, that Bison breeder, also in OK., how friendly your herd is. He spends most of his time replacing fences and banging dents out of his truck. Cheers and good wishes.
Haha you talking about cross timbers? I've heard bison are a little wild
Good cow 🐂🐂
Hello from Adler farms
..... if i was living near you and you had one as a pet, i would not mind helping you feed and brush her, lol
Adler farm sent me
Hi I am from Adler farms
Howdy to all
Need to put brushes on big poles so they can have a scratcher to scratch on Besided the fences
Golly didn’t know it got so hot in Oklahoma! I wonder if they’d do well in parts of Canada? I’m going to look into it because they are incredibly gorgeous. I’m hopeful we will have a farm eventually!
Ya it can get pretty warm. They definitely would do good in Canada. I know of at least one breeder in Ontario. But there are lots of people in Northern US that raise them
