The Genetics Behind Our Program

Our Herd

Every calf in our program traces back to carefully selected sires and donor females chosen for size, structure, color, and temperament. Meet the animals that make Hairy Heifer what it is.

Our Philosophy

Predictable Genetics, Not Guesswork

A miniature Highland program is only as good as the genetics behind it. We breed for a small, predictable frame; a heavy, weather-shedding double coat; rich and rare colors; and the calm, people-oriented temperament Highlands are loved for.

Our sires and donor females are matched deliberately — and because we use an embryo and donor program, the strongest females can pass their genetics to many calves each season.
