Highlander calves are good for butcher about 2-3 years...longer than other breeds. About the time they start looking real tasty the horns are only about 6" -1' long and not that intimidating. The care they get will more determine how their demeanor is. A windbreak is pretty much all they need. If they do not like the lower quality hay you are giving them and start resting in it, just pile it back up again and they will rego thru it and take out what is edible, so they are pretty thrifty as well. Any of the critters we get steak and burger from can hurt you. Horns or not. Holstein bulls have a history of it.

No fun, change the rules!!!
