We bought cows! And they call Scotland Home. This is gonna fun! 

After a LOT of searching, opportunity came knocking. So we jumped! In May of 2025 we took a leap of faith and became the proud owners of two mature cows. Thank you Morven Coghill for selling them to us and Willie Maclean for housing them.

Return to the Highlands...

  • The AHCA National Gathering in Scotland the first week of October was an amazing trip. A fun-filled week of sight seeing, farm tours, good times, and wrapping up the trip with the Highland Cattle Society's Fall Show & Sale at Oban. Where we just couldn't resist. So we bought TWO more heifers! 

After spending the year putting our trust into WIllie, who takes fantastic care of his animals, we ended up buying one of his heifers at the sale. Thanks again Willie!
