Welcome to Scotchwood Farm

Breeders of quality FIB Highland Cattle

At Scotchwood Farm, our passion is preserving and improving the iconic Highland breed through carefully selected genetics, ethical breeding practices, and a deep respect for the history of these magnificent cattle.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Benjinup in Western Australia, our fold of Highland cattle represents years of dedication, research, and a clear vision for the future. Every animal has been thoughtfully selected for temperament, structure, breed character, and pedigree, with a strong focus on preserving and advancing Full Imported Bloodline (FIB) genetics.

Our Breeding Philosophy

Our breeding program is built on quality, not quantity.

Using carefully selected bloodlines from Scotland, Australia, and North America, we combine proven genetics with thoughtful breeding decisions to produce Highlands that continually improving each generation.

We place equal importance on sound structure, longevity, maternal ability, quiet temperament, and the distinctive breed character that has made Highland cattle admired around the world.

Our Vision

Our ambition extends beyond breeding exceptional Highland cattle.

We are committed to making a lasting contribution to the future of the breed by producing Highland cattle of genuine quality, integrity, and purpose. Through careful selection, thoughtful breeding, and an unwavering commitment to continual improvement, we strive to develop Scotchwood genetics that are recognised, respected, and sought after.

Every mating is planned with intention, every calf is evaluated against our breeding goals, and every generation brings us one step closer to creating a legacy that honours the Highland breed while helping shape its future.

Experience Scotchwood Highlands

While breeding is at the heart of what we do, sharing these incredible cattle with others is equally important.

Our private Highland Cow Experiences offer guests the opportunity to slow down, connect with our gentle fold, and spend unhurried time brushing, patting, and learning about these iconic animals in a relaxed rural setting.

Whether you're discovering Highland cattle for the first time or have admired them for years, we invite you to experience the unique character and quiet charm of our fold.

Highland Cow Experiences can be booked online, and gift vouchers are also available for those wanting to share the experience with family or friends.

Located in Benjinup, WA, Scotchwood Farm began as a passion project. What started with a few pet Highland cows, miniature goats, and chickens quickly grew into something more. We fell in love with these incredible animals and the lifestyle they brought.

We made the decision to grow Scotchwood Farm into a business, so we could share the joyful experience of well-socialised, trusting animals. Our Highland cattle and goats, are not just livestock, but cherished members of the family.

WHY CHOOSE US?

We are dedicated ethical breeders, deeply committed to the lifelong welfare of our animals and to providing ongoing support to their new owners.

Our focus extends beyond breeding; we offer continuous education and training designed to empower you to interact confidently with your animals. Our breeding program emphasises early socialisation and training, ensuring that you can cultivate a rewarding, lifelong relationship with your pet cow or goat.

While structure, conformation, and breed characteristics are certainly important, we place the highest priority on temperament. After all, a beautiful animal is of little value if it cannot be approached or engaged with.
