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.
