How are SHC with calving?
Highland cattle are truly easy unassisted calvers, birth weights average 50-75 pounds. The calves moderate bone structure and slim conformation along with the cow’s wide pelvic reduce calving problems such as caesarean and prolapse. The Highland cow has a long productive life and many herds average 12 calves from each cow. This greatly reduces their replacement cost, a most important factor these days. Cow’s display high fertility and regularity of calving. Highland bull’s are aggressive as herd sires.
