Health Guarantee

The health and well-being of our Highland cattle are extremely important to us. Every animal is raised with attentive care, proper nutrition, routine health management, and responsible handling to help ensure they are healthy and thriving before leaving our farm.

We are committed to providing quality Highland cattle with strong health, sound structure, and excellent overall condition.

Veterinary Care

All cattle receive routine herd health management, which may include:

  • Regular health evaluations

  • Vaccination programs

  • Parasite prevention and control

  • Proper nutritional management

  • Routine observation and care

Animals are carefully monitored to help ensure they are healthy and free from visible illness prior to placement.

General Health Guarantee

We guarantee that each animal is in good general health at the time of sale to the best of our knowledge.

Buyers are encouraged to have their animal examined by a licensed veterinarian shortly after arrival to confirm the animal’s condition and help establish ongoing care with their veterinarian.

Because livestock are living animals exposed to changing environments, stress, transportation, weather conditions, feed changes, and management practices can affect health after leaving our farm.

Stress & Transportation

Transporting cattle can create temporary stress which may affect:

  • Appetite

  • Hydration

  • Energy levels

  • Digestive balance

It is important that newly arrived cattle are provided with:

  • Fresh clean water

  • Proper hay and nutrition

  • A quiet adjustment period

  • Appropriate shelter

  • Gradual transition to new feed programs

Proper post-arrival care greatly supports a smooth transition into their new environment.

Biosecurity & Herd Management

Maintaining strong herd health practices is a priority on our farm.

We emphasize:

  • Clean living conditions

  • Proper pasture management

  • Low-stress handling

  • Routine monitoring

  • Responsible breeding practices

These management practices help support long-term herd health and animal wellness.

Buyer Responsibilities

Once an animal leaves our farm, ongoing health and care become the responsibility of the buyer.

Buyers are responsible for providing:

  • Proper nutrition

  • Fresh water

  • Adequate fencing and shelter

  • Veterinary care

  • Parasite prevention

  • Safe transportation

  • Appropriate livestock management

Failure to provide proper care can negatively impact the health and well-being of the animal.

Breeding Soundness

Breeding animals are selected carefully for:

  • General health

  • Structural soundness

  • Temperament

  • Overall breeding quality

However, because livestock reproduction can be influenced by many factors beyond our control, no absolute guarantee can be made regarding future breeding performance, fertility, or reproductive success.

Natural Variations

As living animals, each Highland is unique in:

  • Growth rate

  • Hair coat development

  • Horn growth

  • Mature size

  • Personality

  • Physical appearance

Environmental conditions, nutrition, genetics, climate, and management all play a role in development over time.

Commitment to Animal Welfare

We are passionate about raising healthy, well-cared-for Highland cattle and remain committed to ethical breeding and responsible herd management practices.

Our goal is to provide every buyer with quality Highland cattle that are healthy, properly cared for, and well-prepared for their new home or farm.
