Mid-Atlantic Highland Assn.

Mid-Atlantic Highland Assn., Scottish Highland cattle, Middletown, PA, in Dauphin County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. The association has maintained a selective breeding program for over a decade, with members participating in national heritage cattle associations and following recommended veterinary health screenings. Calves are raised on rotational pasture and receive daily handling to support gentle temperaments and early acclimation.

Their approach emphasizes sustainable grazing practices that enrich soil health and forage diversity. Regular evaluations of coat quality, horn symmetry and structural soundness ensure the breed’s defining traits are retained. Farm history traces back to local growers sharing resources and expertise, which continues through periodic workshops and networking events. Members value the gentle nature and resilience of these cattle in varied climates from winter chill to summer heat. Annual gatherings at local fairs showcase breeding successes and allow prospective members to observe cattle in pasture conditions.
