The Scottish Highland cattle of Highland Dale

A Fold Built Through Stewardship, Not Accumulation

 

The Highland Dale fold represents the continuation of a breeding program originally established as AAA Quality Highlands by Emily and Beauford Wilson.

​

Each animal in our fold is part of a documented lineage supported by registration through the American Highland Cattle Association and, where applicable, DNA parentage verification processed by the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory.

​

Rather than focusing on volume, the fold has been developed through selective breeding, careful record keeping, and attention to maternal lines that contribute to long-term herd stability.

Get to Know Us

All breeding animals within the Highland Dale fold are registered with the American Highland Cattle Association or are eligible for registration based on verified pedigree.

​

Registration provides:

  • Documented ancestry

  • Breed integrity tracking

  • Transferable ownership records

  • Foundation for pedigree research

 

We encourage all prospective owners to review registration status and pedigree documentation when evaluating breeding cattle.
