INFORMATION: If you have ever visited the Highlands of Scotland you won’t soon forget the beauty and majesty of the Scottish Highland cattle, and if you have the opportunity to taste the beef (favored and owned by the Queen of England), it is a treat you won’t soon forget. Scottish Highland cattle are believed to be the oldest breed of cattle in the world. Hemlock Highlands has been raising registered Scottish Highland cattle for beef and breeding stock since the early 90’s. We have been showing our cattle for many years and have many grand and reserve champions in our line. Our grass fed, grain finished, all natural beef (with no antibiotics, growth hormones or animal feed) is some of the most tender and flavorful you will ever taste, and is available five times a year. We have been part of the Festival of Family Farms for several years and offer pony rides, beef tasting, calf petting and a hay ride tour of the farm and nearby apple orchard/ winery during the event. Also, if you call ahead, we are happy to show you around the farm. Come see the beautiful Scottish Highland cattle!
