Northwood Highlands

It all started with a Christmas request!

Young Tommo made it clear to Santa that he "Did not want a pony for Christmas"...... So Santa, being an adaptable fellow, bought him 4 little Highland cows instead. From those little beginnings, we slowly and carefully bred and traded to build our herd of Hairy Coos.

Our difference is in our numbers!

In an enterprise where small herds are the norm, the size of our herd allows us to let nature lead the way, giving the full diversity of the Highland genetic spectrum an opportunity to shine.

Some colours are rare, and a smaller breeder might be lucky to see one such animal in a lifetime - but here - we get to experience them all and offer these potentials to others.

Our goal is to establish ourselves as a reputable, reliable, and trusted seller of quality stock, offering unique opportunities to get into this extremely fulfilling enterprise.

Our Breeding Strategy

We operate 4 separate breeding units consisting of 1 Sire and 22 to 28 females per herd unit.

They are each maintained to be Physically, Genetically and Seasonally separate.

As a result, we have beautiful variations of Color, Age, Pregnancy Status, and Size available all year round.

AND ...... it means we are ALWAYS busy with our cattle.
