Our genetic philosophy
At Highland & Co. Acres, our herd represents a thoughtful blend of older U.S. foundation lines, import genetics, and modern pedigrees found both inside and outside the show ring.

We intentionally build our program on diversity, bringing together lines that contribute consistency, heritage traits, maternal strength, and correct Highland expression.
