Highland Vineyard

Highland Vineyard, Scottish Highland cattle, Ventura, CA, is based in Ventura County and just north of the Santa Barbara area. Randolph Siple has raised these sturdy animals for over a decade with membership in the American Highland Cattle Association and routine health screenings.

His herd grazes on coastal pasture with daily turnout and access to shaded shelters, and calves receive gentle handling from birth. Visitors often note the calm temperament and the open barn layouts designed for social interaction.

Winter feeding blends local oat hay with trace mineral supplements, reflecting a family farm approach that spans two generations. Routine hoof trimming and veterinary partnerships support balanced development throughout the seasons. The farm’s tranquil setting along Casitas Pass offers shelter from coastal winds and a consistent environment year-round. Record keeping on each animal’s pedigree and health history reinforces a transparent breeding process.
