Been MIA for a bit! Summer’s been very busy for the humans of the Hill Hole, but slow for the animals. Cows have all been happy and healthy - an uneventful summer for the cows is a great thing. ☀️

If you’ve been keeping up with the World Cup, or at least seen viral videos on social media, you might’ve seen the fun shenanigans surrounding the Scotland team and their Tartan Army fanbase “invading” America. I love it! Scotland and its people are a true gem. Someday I’ll cross the pond and visit, but until then, I’m proud to own these hairy relics of the motherland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🐮

A cow’s version of breakfast in bed.

Ever taken a cow camping? Us neither… until this weekend. Couldn’t find a last minute “calf-sitter” for a Belted Galloway bottle calf, so we threw her in the camper and took her along! Thankfully she was quiet at night and didn’t attract any predators.

Highlands - the fluffy cows you can eat!

Some may not want to hear this but Highland cattle are in fact BEEF🥩cattle!
Highland beef is some of the most coveted, premium beef in the world, and known for its leanness & muscle marbling tendencies. A Highlands heavy hair coat minimizes the need for subcutaneous fat, therefore fat is deposited into the muscle.
Heritage sized highlands are the the perfect homestead family sized cattle! Highlands can also be milked and are known to have a high butterfat content and likely be A2A2. Most families dont need an 1800-2000lb sized beef animal, and often have to split beef into quarters or halves to accomodate their freezer space. This means you might only get 1/4-1/2 of your favorite cuts. A smaller framed animal means less feed and more feed efficiency which makes highlands a great addition to your homestead, not just for their fluffy cuteness...but for the ability to feed your family!

Our dun girl “M***a of Treasure Valley” might be the prettiest cow we own. We love her tall, black tipped horns, wispy hair, and thick frame. She’s also easygoing 99% of the time, EXCEPT when she’s having labor pains. You want to give her about 100 yards of space- ask me how I know. 😅

In the second picture, my boys were plucking the grass and making her a “salad” on the rocks.

Third picture shows M***a hanging out with our other dun, our up-and-coming fold sire “KHH Fergusson’s Ragnar”. M***a turns 4 this month and Ragnar turns 3.

DOUBLE trouble! We are ecstatic to announce we were graced with TWIN calves yesterday! Both AHCA silver heifers and both nursing off mom and doing so well, and have not needed any assistance from us…

April Fool’s! 😜 The calf laying down is courtesy of AI.

While we have been so blessed to have human twins (who are now in their terrible twos and running’ me ragged), I am still waiting on a set of calf twins. 🐮🐮
