Our Animals

Highland Cattle

Hardy cattle, unforgettable hair and personalities far too large to fit in one photograph.

Wellington at Löshá Farms
The sire

Wellington

Our mature unregistered brindle-dun Highland bull. Large, steady and remarkably patient with new females. Two of his calves still live here.

Lola at Löshá Farms
The matriarch

Lola

A strong mother and confident herd leader. Lola was bred by Wellington in late July 2026, with a spring 2027 calf possible.

Rosie at Löshá Farms
The frosted-brindle daughter

Rosie

One of Wellington’s daughters. Because he is her sire, Rosie stays out of his breeding group while we look for the right unrelated bull.

Snickerdoodle at Löshá Farms
The silver-dun girl

Snickerdoodle

Two years old and bred by Wellington in early August 2026. We are watching toward an April or May 2027 calving window.

Ruairidh · Rory at Löshá Farms
The Easter calf · ‘red king’

Ruairidh · Rory

Lola’s 2026 bull calf, raised quietly with his herd and preparing to leave for his new home in October.

Breeding with care

Temperament first. Honest records always.

We value calm cattle, thoughtful pairings and clear representation. Wellington is unregistered, and we do not promise registration or a particular calf color. His calves on our farm give visitors a chance to see more than a photograph.

Where the herd may go

Color, genetics and future crosses

Highland color is part of the fun, but appearance never replaces health, structure or disposition. We are learning the genetics behind our brindle, dun, silver, black and ginger calves while keeping expectations realistic.

A future Highland × Angus program is one possibility we are exploring for useful, hardy beef calves. Any cross will be planned carefully and represented plainly.
