Well, at least a couple of them will break 1000lbs once we put some weight on them. These girls came through the local auction 2 weeks ago, and my buddy is the brand inspector there. He called and we went, and came home with 5 in total. These were some of the few that had decent feet and udders, and you could tell they had just weaned a calf off of them. Some were dry, some were cripples, and some were plum crazy. The ones I bought are all puppy-dog quiet. Previous owner apparently loved them, but had no pasture for them, hence the poor condition.

Older cow, but decent structure, and @ 10cents/lb, hard to pass up.


Same one


Younger tan cow, 840lbs.


Smallest cow I've ever owned. 700lbs, but is absolutely the boss. Even puts the run on our bulls that she's penned with right now. Looks so funny because she's so tiny. She'll probably bring in a calf every year though without a lick of feed if she had to.


And again...


The other 2 are very similar, I just didn't take the time to grab pics of them. For a grand total of $690, we brought the 5 home. They're not most people's ideal cow, but I've always wanted some Highlands to see what they can do in comparison to our more "conventional" cows. Time will tell. They're supposedly bred to a Polled Hereford bull for end of April calving.
