Lisa is the cutest name for a cow, ever
What a sweet and beautiful video. I love your deep love and connection to the farm and animals, very touching.
What a good momma. Life is wonderful.
I wish this new family and the other beautiful animals a long, happy , healthy famiily life together!
If the homestead doesn't work out you can always become a cinematographer. Your work is exceptional.
These cows look SO much cooler and cuter then any of the cows I have EVER seen.
That is the sign of a satisfied animal giving birth and bringing it in dry, healthy and no issues with no intervention, job well done!
Ahhhh how precious. Thank you for posting!! God Blessing upon you and your family
Beautiful ending with the image rising into the sky. Thank you for sharing your life and that of the cows.
Beautiful. So beautiful little May. 100% love in your family 🍀💕🍀
Congradulations! Beautiful baby with attentive mama. Very glad no babies in the snow.
So enjoy your stories, lessons and actual video knowledge about your farming and lives. Admire you and wife so very much! Hard work but so appreciate your efforts.
What a beautiful breed. Congratulations on the new calf. It's beautiful.

The look on Bella's face! That was priceless. Lol She stopped chewing and just looked guilty when she heard her name.
What a kind, hard working ,gentle man you are. You’re so good to you animals. Respect.
What a great heart you have. I love the way you interact with your cattle. Best wishes.
Thank you for sharing the new heifer and educating us about the breed.
Gorgeous cattle
The moment the mother cow came to protect her calf. Something deep inside me were touched by this emotionally.
Awesome new member of the herd, congratulations
Wow... beautiful scene where the mother tries to protect her young. You can tell she's torn... really nice video, Simeon!

Beautiful music accompanied this lovely video
Oh what a beautiful calf! I love how innocent they look when they are first meeting their new world. Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations Simeon and Lisa! A beautiful scene. We're all smiles too. Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful video. What you and your family are doing is so great! Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Wow, Simeon! Thanks for sharing that with us. My 3 year old grandson was enraptured with it all. So was I.
They really are such a beautiful breed. Adorable little one
Beautiful May and touching video!
Congratulations on the new addition to your homestead
Ahh .. that was great Simeon .. I enjoy your film making as much as your farming .. great day :)
Beautiful video on all levels. Thank You!
The birth of cattle, goats, horses, dogs, cats and other animals in our care gives us the opportunity to touch the hand of God and witness the gift of life! Take good care of your little May.
there is no god animals where around long before god and you humans and stop the bible bull shit they are not here to be eaten people that eat them will die and be hunted and removed and all animals don`t give you consent to eat / abuse them people are filthy parasites aswell fruit and veg is better for you no need to be lazy and kill another living creature just to get a easy meal
Omg cuteness overload...
I'm so happy for you! Love your cattle!
What a beautiful heartwarming video..😻😻😻🤗🤗
This was great to see.. Thank you...
I really like your channel. I was a dairy farmer in my younger days, in Kentucky, USA. Beautiful new addition to your herd!
You have made an excellent video. Your knowledge of the breed, and its native instincts, is wonderful and very important. May you continue to enjoy much success -- your focus on this breed is so very important!
Simply adorable.
I just started watching your channel, I love Highland cows, I think they are some of the prettiest animals.
Hard hitting snap on the fence......hope you noticed.
Thanks for video. Thats awsome
😮 I had never seen these. How beautiful they are! 🤗
What a happy day. Congratulations!!
Congratulations on a beautiful, healthy heifer calf. I hope May will grow up to be a wonderful addition to your fold.
Gold Medal on that Fence jump!
Dude, I love your videos. Heck, I love your farm, your herd, all of it. God is good!
Congratulations! She is Beautiful! I remember seeing my first Heifer born when I was in 3rd grade 7 or 8 years of age. Freaked me out, I was a half mile from our home and all alone. I ran all the way home to tell my mom and ask if she needed to call someone? She laughed and said that is were cows come from.
Beautiful breed. I live in Texas and have never seen this breed before. Beautiful! ❤️👍
Proud dad Simeon, with a beautiful calf. Well done Lisa, looking like a great mom. The drone footage at the end was so well done, it brought a lump to my throat. "Bright new world". Tony from england.
Congrats on that little heifer!
It was amazing to see what a good mother she was being, for a first time mother, she came as soon as the calf called but maintained her trust and did not panic when you had hold of the calf. I have to assume that much of that comes from your earlier approach to handling her wen she was so scared and let her decide when to come out of the forest and develop some trust. There seems to be good potential there for a cow with good instincts but also in control of them, you can't ask for much more to raise your next generation.
What a good mom!
Such a beautiful way of life
Such beautiful cattle!
Congratulations on your beautiful new addition
They are very handsome cattle.
Highlands are the best moms
Very moving. Welcome May!
i work at a office for 10 hr a day... watching you living like that make me rethink life
Very nice moving / emotional ending starting at 10:45 .....Thank You !
Very Happy Healthy New Born. God bless you.
This was a wonderful video, Simeon! Thank you.
These golden retrievers are really well fed!
How perfect to name her May. Very poetic!
Simeon you are very patience I think you are a very good man may god bless you and your family 🤩❤️🇺🇸👏

Looks like shes a good mom
Beautiful farm. Your animals look so healthy and content. Great animal husbandry.
My cows are great at hiding their calves. I walked the 42 acres looking for them many a time.
How often do they hide in the woods and/or hide their calves. Is it necessary to know where their calves are? I am raising money for land now. I want to raise this breed of calves. I"ll have live-in help. I'm a single female with neuro-muscluar damage. I'm quite weak. I can walk, but not too far or too many times. Must limit my exertion or it will knock me down to nothing.
I'm determined to have a self-sustaining farm and looking to make things as low labor as possible. I plan to have protecting and herding dogs, fencing, etc. I'll likely have Permaculture fencing that I'm not required to move the fencing to move them. One property I am looking at is 120 acres pasture with over 200 acres woods.
I"ve heard the bulls can turn mean reacting as he mentioned here or the mothers being very protective. Is it easy enough to avoid if they react violently, or do they chase you to attack you?! I also heard in one video that one processing plant said they wouldn't process because of the horns, that this added too much to their operation. Is it easy enough to set up an operation on the land?
I'm really excited about doing this. I just love Highlander Cows. My friend was shocked that the cows stay outside all the time. I think it gets to -20 F where I will be moving. I haven't decided on the land, but this is roughly the lowest temperature.
Does anyone have any comments on any of this or how many cows per acre, and how difficult is is to have 150 cows versus 40-50? It would seem to me that increasing from 50 to 150 really wouldn't be much different of a workload. Is my logic correct?
I also wonder about separating the bulls and how difficult it is to expand through breeding. If I am going for four generations to get to 150 or so cows, do I have to separate all generations from lineage on both the mother and bull's side?
I don't expect anyone to answer all. I'd love for anyone with experience to comment on this or other.
It seems to me that Permaculture Animal farming is easier and less labor-intensive, as well as maybe more profitable than most crops, even if I hire certain aspects of it, like the butchering or special tasks.
These cows are so majestic. I am absolutely wild for them. I feel like they are long lost friends or family members reuniting with, through my German and Norwegian history.
Traci Scheelk no one answered back. I guess you start out small. Don't be in too big a rush to get big. Seems like it might be too much but I don't know. I have movement problems too. You should try volunteering on a homestead to see. People can do more tha others think sometimes. :) hope you are doing well in these times.
Amazing, beautiful cattle. Brought happy tears to my eyes. :) You're a great person. Keep rocking!
What a great video. I loved seeing the new baby.
Aww so fuzzy and sweet. Looks like Chewbacca
Just beautiful - love it .
Beautiful, just beautiful! Nature at its best. Congratulations on your new addition to your Homestead.
Congratulations to all.
Congrats on the healthy calf! :)
Super drone pic ..WOW crazy nice
That was one of the best videos ever!!
Outstanding choice of music @ the end...to facilitate the true wonder & miracle of life......& then the regeneration of yet another life....in God's divine plan for every living thing on earth. Your video's are so special & I'm privileged to watch them. Thank you.
Congratulations on such a strong, healthy heifer! And yes, I'll bet she calved last night!
I've never seen cows that look like that! Beautiful!🐴
Watching again. Sweet and beautiful.
Beautiful animals and such lovely music.
Cow: nods head in agreement.😂🐃
What a healthy good looking calf. Congratulations Simeon (and Lisa) haha.
