Big Ridge Voodoo Magic is a calm, patient fellow whose calves average 55#, deliver unaided, nurse unassisted and grow at rapid rate, often outgaining their peers by 100+ pounds at weaning.
Magic was carefully bred to produce black and red calves with sound feet, tight udders, and gentle temperament. Magic’s semen per straw pricing is $70 with the following discounts available….
6-10 straws – 5% discount
11-25 straws – 10% discount

Magic exhibits all of the important traits of the Scottish Highland Cattle Standard. Magic’s excellently level top line combined with his strong muscular neck, broad short head, low wide horn set, and bushy forelock compliment a thick, slightly wavy coat.
We are truly grateful to Bill and Kae Arrington of Big Ridge Highlands for their contributions to the breed, and most especially for working through generations to produce this magnificent bull.
We have learned much from the Arringtons, and been greatly inspired to carry on this legacy of excellence here at Elm Hollow Farm.
