Highlands Raised with Intention — Highland & Co. Acres

Kalama, WA
Highland Cattle Program

A small, intentional Highland cattle program focused on temperament, conformation, and quality genetics — supported by transparent testing and daily hands-on care.

Our Genetic Philosophy

We value depth over trend — a thoughtful blend of older U.S. foundation lines, import genetics, and modern pedigrees. Diversity that contributes consistency, heritage traits, maternal strength, and correct Highland expression across every generation.

Our Commitment

We are committed to honesty, transparency, and intentional breeding. While we cannot guarantee outcomes once an animal leaves our care, we promise support and integrity throughout the entire process.

Our cattle are handled daily and raised around people, dogs, and the activity of a working farm with guest presence. This creates respectful, calm, human-familiar animals from birth forward.

We stay in touch with our buyers. If you have questions about the cattle you've purchased — feeding transitions, health questions, breeding timing, what to watch for in a new calf — we're here. Always.
