Hollys Highlands

Hollys Highlands breeds percentage miniature Highlands cattle on their small-scale ranch in Colorado Springs, CO, in Colorado’s Front Range region. The ranch is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association and follows veterinary-recommended health screening protocols for genetic and infectious conditions common to the breed, along with annual veterinary exams and nutritional assessments.

Calves are raised on open pastures and gently handled from birth to foster calm temperaments and easy bonding with visitors. Nutrition includes grass hay supplemented with free-choice minerals, and seasonal pasture rotation aids soil health while reducing parasite loads. Their breeding focus emphasizes conformation and maternal traits suited for small-scale producers, and several animals have earned ribbons at regional livestock shows. The family-run operation combines traditional Scottish herding methods with modern welfare standards and sustainable land management. Visitors often note the herd’s friendly behavior and easygoing spirit during farm tours.
