We care deeply about creating a safe and enjoyable experience for both our guests and our beloved Highland cattle. Our Highlands are living animals with their own unique personalities, moods, and quirks. This means the length of your experience and the level of interaction on the day may vary, depending on how the cattle are feeling.
