Highland Handbook

 

This handbook is an updated version originally developed by breeders John Pool and Wendy Horton, and the Highland Cattle Society are grateful for all the hard work put into making it. It was updated in 2021 by Jacky Harrison.

The handbook does not set out to be a treatise on all aspects of Highland Cattle management or try to teach ‘grandmothers to suck eggs’. It is a primer aimed in the main to the growing numbers of people who enjoy the breed and are beginning to establish a fold or who have never had cattle before.

All new breeders go through the stage of having the most basic questions in mind, which they are sometimes afraid to ask, especially in the august presence of ‘experts’. It is hoped that this primer will answer some of those questions and suggest answers to questions possibly not considered by the reader.

 

It should be remembered that whether keeping cattle on a commercial scale or with only a handful, the majority of Highland Cattle breeders are enthusiasts who love to talk on the subject and share their knowledge. There is probably no question which has not been asked previously.
