Cattle, Charm, and Country Calm

Nestled in the countryside outside Ballarat, Hayes Girl Highlands is a small farm where Highland cattle are raised peacefully, with space to roam, low stress, and plenty of time to grow into calm, character-filled animals.

Highland Cattle Experiences

We've paused our Cuddle a Cow experiences until the end of 2027. Chels is away on her Lap of Australia & the cows are being well looked after by her beautiful family while she is gone. Our cuddle a Cow experiences and High Tea with the Highlands will be up and running again by the end of 2027. Keep an eye on our Social Media for all news and updates.

Behind it all

I’m Chels, the girl behind Hayes Girl Highlands.

This little farm outside Ballarat is where, with a little help, I raise calm, healthy Highland cattle with time, care, and plenty of paddock space. These days, it’s all about doing things properly — calm cattle, good land, and a farm that reflects the work that goes into it.
