About Us

WELCOME TO THE ''MINI SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CATTLE CANADA''

We’re a little obsessed with Micro Mini Highland Cattle, and honestly, we don’t mind admitting it.
 
Six years ago we brought our first herd home to Shawinigan, QC. Eight cows and two bulls, all imported from Missouri, USA. We fell in love with their shaggy coats, calm eyes, and that gentle, hardy Highland spirit. Today that small start has grown into a herd of 72 micro miniature Highlands grazing across 4,500 acres of green pasture. And we’re just getting started sharing them across Canada.
 
This isn’t new to us. Our whole family has raised standard Highland cattle for 25 years. We know the breed inside out. But a few years back we shifted focus to the miniature side. Same heart, same hardiness, just scaled down. They demand less feed, lower vet costs, and way less space. That makes them perfect for small homesteads, hobby farms, and families who want the Highland experience without needing hundreds of acres.
 
*Why people love owning them*  
*Size that fits*: At micro mini size they’re easy to handle, safe around kids, and don’t tear up pasture like bigger breeds.  
 
*Low maintenance*: Highland genetics mean they thrive on grass, handle Quebec winters like champs, and rarely need intervention.  
 
*Gentle temperament*: They’re curious and friendly, not flighty. People stop by just to spend time with them. 
 
*Beautiful for life*: That thick double coat and those long horns make them living postcards. Great for agritourism, photos, or just making your property the one everyone talks about.  
 
*Sustainable*: Smaller body, smaller footprint. You get all the benefits of cattle with fewer inputs.
 We breed for health, temperament, and that classic Highland look in a smaller package. Every calf is raised right here on our land, handled daily, and socialized before they go to new homes.
 If you’ve been dreaming of Highlands but thought you didn’t have the space or budget, we built this program for you. We’re happy to talk breeds, share what we’ve learned in 6 years, and help you find the right animal for your setup.

INFO ON SIZE

Our Micro minis will stay around 36 inches or shorter at the hip.
Our cattle have gentle dispositions and distinct personalities. Being small they have less impact on the land, eating less than their full size cousins, weighing less, and are easier to handle (it is not unusual for them to love being groomed), plus their sweet natures enable them to be easily halter trained. They come in a variety of colours – ranging in a variety from red, yellow, white, black, silver and dun.

Miniature Highland cattle, with their compact size, hardiness, and charm, have an undeniable allure for small farm owners and homesteaders. Their unique characteristics, adaptability, and longevity make them an attractive addition for both production and companionship. Our calves are raised with our children, they also spend their days with our donkeys, Horses, dwarf goats, German shepherds and Border collie, chickens and other cattle breeds.
