Throughout the year we sell cattle both private treaty and auctions through regional associations of the American Highland Cattle Association. We run a Fall calving season and do not sell or take deposits on any calf until they are weaned from their dams, so calves are available in the Spring every year.
To be put on our contact list for our calves, message Jim at 410-708-9746. Once we are ready to sell, everyone on the contact list will be messaged and cattle will be sold on a first come, first served basis.
!!WE DO NOT BREED, SELL, NOR CONDONE MINIATURE HIGHLANDS, AND WE WILL NOT SELL CALVES ON THE BOTTLE!!

What To Expect When Purchasing
Health
All of our calves are fully vaccinated by our veterinarian when they are sold. Cattle will have an RFID tag when sold, AHCA calves will also be tattooed for permanent identification.
Genetics
When looking at calves, we can give information on traits like temperament, udder quality, and feed efficiency in that genetic line to help buyers make the best decision on what they add to their herd. We also compete with our cattle both at all breed beef cattle shows and AHCA sanctioned shows throughout the year to see where we can improve our herd in the eyes of different judges. Our calves can be either a first generation for dams we bought to diversify the genetics of our herd, or may trace back 3-4 generations of cattle bred by us, giving us plenty of knowledge for what to expect from calves when they go on to produce calves of their own, allowing buyers to make informed decisions to choose calves that will best fit their breeding program goals. You can also head to the “Cows” along with the “Bulls & Steers” sections under the “Our Herd” tab on the website to see photos of the calves sires and dams!
Our herd is currently transition to be a fully AHCA registered herd. These AHCA registered calves that we sell are sold with registration already completed, so the only step new owners need to take is signing the paper for transfer and shipping the transfer to AHCA headquarters.
Training
Our sale calves are started on the halter when they are sold, we aim for calves to be trained to tie, be brushed, and walk. The amount of training completed will depend on the personality and responsiveness of the calf. We get to know the calves personality and temperament before making cattle available so buyers know what to expect from the calf they choose to take home.
Advice
We have been raising Highlands since 2008, and are currently the longest running Highland Herd in Maryland. Although we are constantly learning new things, we have developed experience with this breed that we are always willing to share. When purchasing from us, you are not only getting a cow, you are also getting lifelong support from us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have, and are happy to share our experiences, both the good and the bad, with beginner cattlemen. Whether you are looking for advice on training, breeding, or raising calves, we are happy to answer any questions at any time as best as we can.

Running W Crimson, $6,000
Crimson is a 9 year old unregistered cow out of one of our favorite cows we’ve had, Sally, sired by OSF Brogan 6th! Don’t let the age fool you, Crimson’s mother Sally was the poster child for the longevity of Highland’s, having her last calf at 19 years old when we decided to retire her! Crimson is not halter trained, and will not go seeking attention, but causes no problems, is easy to work around, will let people pet her occasionally, and is not aggressive even when she has her calf. She is pasture exposed to H & H Abraham for a Fall calf. She has never needed assistance Delivering or raising calves, and over the past few years her calves have consistently been some of the most outgoing in the group. We are only selling since we are moving to an AHCA Registered only herd, but with her quality, we are in no rush to have her sold.
Running W Evangeline, Selling in the MAHA Breeders Sale August 15th
Running W Evangeline is a coming 5 year old red cow out of Running W Eva, sired by Double LL Elliot 2. Evangeline’s pedigre is filled with notable herds, including Who’s Hill, Wurzbach Farms (OSF), Vantage Point, Bo Croft, Double LL, LEA-White, GH, Twinflower, and Trafalgar. The herds have boasted successful cattle both in the show pen and out in a production herd. Although Evangeline has never shown, she has already made us happy with her work as a brood cow. She had her first heifer calf, Running W Everest, just a day before turning three years old, and had her second heifer calf, Running W Eiffel just under a year later, both breedings being natural service out in the pasture. Her dam, Running W Eva, has become the matriarch of the farm, always calving consistently, and needing no assistance in delivering or raising her calves. She has passed this down to her daughters, three of which including Evangeline have gone on to have calves with us, without needing any assistance ant any point this far. Evangeline’s oldest sibling, a full sister to her, Running W Golden Poppie, has become a farm favorite, with amazing conformation, udder structure, and a phenomenal temperament to go with it. Poppie was named Grand Champion Cow/Calf pair at the Kent County Fair in 2024, and the Junior show Grand Champion Cow/Calf pair at the Southern Highland Cattle Association Spring Classic 2026. Like Poppie, Evangeline also has a friendly demeanor, she will take treats from hand and enjoys being brushed. She has never been halter trained, but it easy to work and does not cause any issues in our herd. Evangeline’s sire, Double LL Elliot 2, also played a large role in passing down a great temperament to his calves. Elliot never had any issue servicing 20+ cows in our herd each year, and passed down his amazing temperament, large frame size, and wonderful length of side to his calves. Evangeline her self is one of our tallest cows in the herd, only being beaten by another full sister of her, Running W Eda. Evangeline boasts not only height, but nice length of side, balanced topline, and a very nice udder with small teats that are easy for calves to nurse on. We landed on selling. Evangeline as we already have kept two full sisters of her, and are keeping calves out of each of those cows this year, showing the faith we have in this maternal line in our program and any other herd.
