Highland beef cattle first
arrived at Green Farm in March 2002. Dottie (Brindle) and Jaz (White)
were bought as a hobby (and a bit of fun).
At this time we were milking 130 Holsteins and Jerseys three times
a day, getting high yields but not making any money. So after becoming
involved with the Highland Cattle Society, and making some trips
to Oban to the Cattle sales, we decided to sell the milk cows in
August 2005 and concentrate on cows that are fun, sell our own beef,
(which we think is the best in the world), and farm in a more traditional,
and environmentally friendly way.
Our Highland Beef Cattle can now be seen above the Malham Cove beauty
spot where we support the
Limestone
Country Project.
