Loch Valley Highland Fold was established in June
2007, after the purchase of 2 registered Highland
cows. Flora of Ben Eyrie & daughter Jewels of
Pickleberry.
Several months later saw the purchase of a herd
bull Laird Hewie of Arrandoon. In January 2008
the addition of 2 in-calf heifers Princess of
Arrandoon & Daphne of Arrandoon, both of these
2 heifers were in calf to Haydon of Mac~Ladanae.
We have found that the Highland cattle are very
easy to manage, have great temperaments
excellent "doers" Highlands will thrive in
conditions where other cattle breeds will struggle.
Some of the Benfits of owning Highland Cattle are:
1 Ease of Calving
2 Longeviety
3 Hardiness
4 Docile & Easy Management
5 Ideal for the smaller property
The Australian Highland Cattle Society say's it all
"Highland Cattle .... Good Looks .... Great Beef"
We use cell grazing with single strands of electric wires to control the cattle. This allows for a more effective pasture management system as well as improving weed control. These magnificent animals have a quiet nature, functionality suitability for natural high quality beef production. Our goal is to produce a beef animal that competes in the show ring as well as a commercial setting. Along with their quiet, docile nature Highland Cattle also come in a wide range of colours: Yellow, Red, Black, Dun, Brindle, White & Mahogny. One of our goals is to help preserve Heritage livestock breeds. If you want the average run of the mill stock found on most of todays cattle properities / feedlots than we are for you. If you are seeking old fashioned quality with personal attention to detail, than call us we may have something for you.

We raise all our animals without using hormones or
antibodics, the way that nature intended-
NATURALLY - & you can taste the difference.
