Highlights
Outing Highlights
Micro & Mini Highland Herd
Meet a large, friendly family of Highland cattle — four full-size animals plus about ten micro and mini Highlands and calves — that are used to human company and respond to calm, gentle attention.
Private, Hands‑On Time
This award‑style private meet‑and‑greet keeps your group separate from others so you can brush, hand‑feed and take close photos; some animals may remain behind a gate for safety while others join you inside the pasture.
Quiet Farm Access
Beyond the cattle encounter you receive general admission to the farm grounds to stroll pathways, visit other animals and pause at a memorial reflection garden for a leisurely extension to your visit.
What the day feels like
What the experience feels like
The session unfolds as a short, focused visit: a calm introduction to the herd, guided hand‑feeding and brushing stations, time for close‑up photos and a portion of the visit inside the pasture with select micro and mini cattle; the operator prioritizes animal welfare, so if a cow opts out the group simply spends more time with others.
