Calf
A calf is a baby Highland cattle, whether male or female. Calves are typically referred to as calves from birth until they reach approximately one year of age.
Heifer
A heifer is a young female Highland that has not yet had a calf of her own. Heifers are often purchased as future breeding animals and are highly valued for their long-term potential.
Cow
A cow is an adult female Highland that has produced at least one calf. Cows are the foundation of most breeding programs and are known for their strong maternal instincts and ability to raise healthy calves.
Bull
A bull is an intact adult male Highland used for breeding purposes. Bulls play an important role in producing future generations and are typically selected based on genetics, temperament, structure, and overall breed quality. Because of their size and natural breeding instincts, bulls require experienced handling and proper facilities.
Steer
A steer is a male Highland that has been castrated and is not used for breeding. Steers are often known for their calm temperament and are popular choices for hobby farms, companion livestock, agritourism farms, and family properties. Many owners consider steers some of the easiest Highland cattle to manage.
Mini Highland Cattle
Mini Highland cattle are a smaller-sized version of the traditional Highland. The term “mini” refers to size rather than age or sex. Just like standard Highlands, miniature Highlands can be: Calves, Heifers, Cows, Steers, Bulls. Mini Highlands retain the breed’s signature appearance, personality, and charm while requiring less space than standard-sized Highlands.
