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.
The Fold now totals over 200, with 60 cows to give birth this year alone.
Watch the diary page for news and
our gallery for new pictures.
In addition our Highland Beef Cattle can be seen above the Malham Cove beauty
spot where we support the Limestone Country Project.
