Vansyckel's Highlands

Vansyckel’s Highlands, Scottish highland cattle, Gettysburg, PA, in Adams County and south-central Pennsylvania near Harrisburg. Carol Vansyckel has more than ten years of experience breeding Scottish highland cattle and follows recommended health screening protocols through the American Highland Cattle Association. The cattle graze across rolling pastures that trace the contours of historic farm fields and barns are cleaned daily, ensuring calves benefit from early socialization with family and other livestock.

Vansyckel’s Highlands supports natural birthing on pasture, monitoring maternal instincts to ensure each calf thrives in a stress-free environment. The cattle’s thick coats stand up to cold winters, reflecting the breed’s hardy heritage and consistent performance on varied terrain. The farm’s practice of rotational grazing and modest stocking rates helps maintain soil health and supports a balanced ecosystem across meadow and woodland. Several families have praised the herd’s calm disposition and the clear communication provided throughout the breeding process.
