Family-run in the Texas Hill Country

Hairy Heifer Cattle Company

A family cattle operation built on transparent genetics and buyer education — and a program focused on predictable size, proven genetics, and cattle that are genuinely pleasant to be around.

How It Started

Breeding Quality Miniature Highlands with Heart

At Hairy Heifer Cattle Company, our passion is raising miniature and micro Highland cattle with proven genetics, predictable size, and calm, family-friendly temperaments. What started as a deep love for these iconic Scottish cattle has grown into a dedicated breeding program focused on excellence, transparency, and buyer education.

Every calf in our herd is raised with hands-on care from day one. We prioritize health, structure, and early socialization to ensure our cattle are not only beautiful with heavy coats and rich colors, but also a true joy to have on your ranch or acreage.
