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 available cattle will be for sale around March-April 2026.
To be put on our contact list for our 2026 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.
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 Everest
Consigned to the Southern Highland Cattle Association Sale
DOB: 9/11/2024
Reg No: 69045
Sire: Apple Hill Fionnghal
Dam: Running W Evangeline
Everest is a September 2024 white heifer out of Running W Evangeline, and sired by Apple Hill Fionnghal. On her sires side, Everest is a granddaughter of Australian National Champion Samhach Buidhe of Bairnsley. Her sire is known to pass a long back, rib shape, and docility down to his calves. Everest’s maternal line is one of our favorites, being a granddaughter of the first registered female we bred, Running W Eva. Eva’s offspring are known for being very functional cattle, easy keepers, with fantastic udders, and great temperaments. Other names in Everest’s pedigree include Osceola, Double LL, Twinflower, and OSF.
Everest has been used in agritourism events on our farm since September 2024 and has been an amazing heifer to work with. The Southern Highland Cattle Association will be her first time competing, but she has been off property before and behaved wonderfully. Everest has been trained by an AHCA junior member.
For those going in person to the show and sale, we will also have a full sister to Everest’s dam competing in the cow/calf pair division for anyone who is interested in seeing more of her maternal line.
If you have any questions about Everest, feel free to send us a message!
