Why is Highland a Premium Beef?
SHC are a distinct breed of cattle that are generally smaller than Angus and unique in their looks because of their long hair and horns. It is one of the oldest purebred cattle breeds in the world, extremely hardy and first developed on the cold north Atlantic coast of Scotland. The ability of Highland breeders to trace the sire/dam of each cow permits them to select back the better animals to produce “premium” cows. This is a big plus for small operations over the large mass production ranches.
