Scottish Highland Cattle are Not Miniature

It's important to clarify that any so-called miniature Highland cattle are typically the result of dwarfism or malnutrition intended to keep them small. This practice leads to a life of pain and hunger for the animals. The trend of miniatures is nothing more than a money-making fad and disrespects the heritage of this breed.

Consider the implications: a malnourished animal with full-size genetics will produce a full-size calf, which is absurd!

So please, refrain from asking about mini Highland cattle, we do not support this practice, and avoid visiting facilities that promote it. It's not “adorable” to exploit animals through poor genetics or starvation.

Congratulations Asman Highlands in USA

They have successfully had born in August and September three heifer calves and one bull calf.
