- Myself (Julia) and husband Kerry, live on 90 acres in a small country town called Bungaree, 15 km from Ballarat, about 100 km from Melbourne, Victoria Australia.
- Our soil is rich red volcanic soil ideal for potatoes, and of course Highland Cattle. Scottish Highland Cattle swept us of our feet, with those large sweeping horns and the long double coat from early Soctland back in the early 90's. We have been breeding highlands since 1991, we successfully showed our horned highlands all over Victoria, SA and NSW. About 2008 we purchased three pure bred poll highland cows which were bred up from Luings (3/4 highland 1/4 shorthorn) and from those cows we bred two poll highland bulls and one poll highland cow using registered pure horned highland bulls. The three poll offspring were inspected by the Australian Highland Cattle Society and were accepted as pure highland. As there was a lot of interested in the poll highlands, we started to sell semen and bulls. So in 2015, a few of us got together to start the Poll Highland Cattle Society Inc. So please look up the website, www.pollhighland.com.au/. The Society is well established now and are very willing to discuss anything to help. Membership is $225 for the first year, and then the annual fee is $125. Many years down the track since then, Mayfield Poll Highlands runs about 35 to 50 poll highlands, depending on calving time. With modern technology we can poll test for double poll or ph, testing with hair samples. The double poll meaning is that it carries the double poll genes, and will only produce poll whether the other parent is horned or poll. For more information you are welcome to give me a call. So you can use your horned highlands to breed the poll highland, you just need a poll cow or bull. You are most welcome to visit us to see our beautiful herd of poll highland cattle. SCAMMERS!!!! Unfortuntaely it is a sign of the times Be aware of scammers. # Contact the Poll Highland Cattle Society Inc. to see if the people you are purchasing from are members of the society. # Check the person on their facebook page, they may have just started their face book page which is a sign of a scammer. # Ask them to take a photo of themselves with something in the corner of the photo ( example a finger, a blue bucket) to prove that it is a new photo and that they have access to the animals. # Ask them for their PIC number and you can check it on the NLIS data base. # Ask for their drivers Licence # Be aware if they ask for money straight away. # Any body that is a real breeder of highlands will be happy to talk to you about highlands and should not be offended if you ask for PIC Number, Licence
