Elm Hollow’s Regal Lad, AHCA # pending

A rare white bull calf for your fold.

This sweet little bull was hidden in the snow on January 16th when I did my walk through the pasture at first light. I walked right past him! We knew Caitlin was due any day and I wasn’t at all surprised to find her secluded in the lower pasture, but I was a little surprised when she kept mooing to me. I searched again and found this tiny boy.

Halter training was a snap for Regal and he is such a gentleman on the halter. Regal loves his treats and he really enjoys interacting with people.

Color tested at UC Davis: White

Asking price: $5,000

Offers accepted through August 31 noon Eastern Time

Update: Regal Lad is sold.

Elm Hollow’s Roseanna, AHCA # 71446

A heifer calf with excellent genetics for a low-touch fold.

Four things go into the pricing one of our calves: Gender, Genetics, Conformation to Scottish Highland standards, and Temperament. Roseanna scored very high in three of the four areas. Her yellow coloring even gave her a bit of leg up, but her downfall is temperament. Not that she is mean or aggressive; she is simply head shy. This means that we cannot put a halter on her without causing her a lot of trauma. Otherwise, she is gorgeous!

I can share videos so you can assess her suitability for your fold.

Asking price: $6,000

Offers accepted through August 31 noon Eastern Time.

Update: Roseanna sold for $6,000

Elm Hollow’s Nicholas, AHCA # pending

The top student in his halter school class.

Nicholas (AKA St. Nick) showed promise from the get-go. He has grown with proper proportions the entire time without going through that gangly, leggy period most calves seem to suffer through. While he was never the rambunctious calf, he’s always been accepted by all the other calves and cows.

Nick was the largest, but gentlest of the students and got straight A’s.

Color tested at UC Davis: Brindle

Asking price: $5,000

Offers accepted through August 31 noon Eastern Time

Update: Nicholas sold for $5,000.

Elm Hollow’s Nowell, AHCA # pending

The gentle bull calf to bring some power into your breeding program.

Nowell’s family tree includes some very well known and well respected ancestors on both sides. His sire was a show ring success as and at only 10 months old, he tied for top honors in the Quebec Highland Bull competition.

On his dam’s side, he can boast two impact dams, two impact bulls and one elite impact dam.

Nowell was at the top of his halter class for gentleness. He was a little shy at first, but now, although no longer shy, he is polite and respectful of your space, which is so important in a herd sire.

Color tested at UC Davis: Red

Asking price: $5,000

Offers accepted through August 31 noon Eastern Time

Update: Nowell has sold for $5,000.

Elm Hollow’s Rosebud, AHCA # pending

A calm, easy going heifer calf for your fold.

Rosebud has been a great little heifer since the day she was born. Her dam, LEA Never Enough is a caring mother who takes her responsibility seriously when it comes to teaching her babies how to be gentle and well behaved. Rosebud has been easy going since day one.

She’s been so much fun in halter training. I’m hoping there will be someone in her future who can take the time to love on her like we do.

Opening bid: $7,500

Update: Rosebud sold for $8,000

Scotch Valley Nairna, AHCA # 71249

A faster maturing heifer with excellent conformation

It would not surprise me to see Nairna mature enough to breed by age 2, which is earlier than most. Her conformation is excellent and her genetic background leaves little to be desired. I have met both her sire and her dam and was impressed with both.

Halter training has gone very well. Nairna has learned quickly that the halter means she gets some grain and she easily walks on her lead when class is over and it’s time to go to the pasture.

Auction date: Tuesday, August 5, 7-8 pm Eastern Time

Opening bid: $7,000

Update: Nairna sold for $7,000.

Elm Hollow’s Nola, AHCA # 70904

A smart, sweet, petite heifer for your fold.

Nola was born on October 29, 2024, to Windkist Acres Lily, a very correct, petite girl with a sweet temperament and natural maternal skills that just amazed us all. Nola has her mother’s correct structure and her petite frame. Her genetic background includes names like G&H Farm’s Bosco, Sunset Double Take, PGH Sunsong Victory, CGH Snow Angel, JTM Chloe, and Loc Bhreagh Nic Toiseach.

Nola’s auction is scheduled for Tuesday, July 29, 2025, starting at 7:00 pm Eastern Time. Opening bid is $8,000.

Update: Nola sold for $8,100.

Elm Hollow’s The Magician, AHCA # 66224

A gentle and well-behaved two-year-old bull with excellent conformation.

I have loved this bull since the day he was born. He has grown up to be very much like his sire, Big Ridge Fergus. Magician is shorter, only 41” at the hip at age two, but he will continue to grow until maturity at about four years. He is thick and strong just like his sire who is very gentle and well behaved to this day.

The Magician is available for $4,500.

Update: The Magician sold for $4,500.

Elm Hollow’s Never Enough, AHCA # 69078

An exellent addition to any serious breeder’s fold and trained to be a show girl!

Born on February 12, 2024, to one of our best cows, LEA Never Enough, this little heifer promises to be an excellent addition to any serious breeder’s fold. Temperament is so important when dealing with cattle. Never was so cooperative in halter training that Sarah quickly singled her out as a possible show entry for the Southeast Show this year. We ended up not attending, so she will be ready for someone to enter her in the spring shows!

Never is available for $9,500. Never and her steer companion, Niall, are available as a pair for $12,000.

Update: Never and Niall sold for #12,000.

Elm Hollow’s Niamh, AHCA # 68816

A shorter gentle heifer with excellent genetics and all the snuggles.

Born on March 17, 2024, to one of our beautiful legacy cows, CCZ Bristol, this little heifer promises to be a gentle snuggler like her mother. She is turning out to be short just like her mother, who is our shortest cow at 44″ at the hip.

As with many of our calves, just as children make friends at school, our calves bond with other calves. Niamh has become almost inseparable with an adorable little black steer named Nehemiah. It is hard to catch them in the pasture when the other one isn’t right beside them. The pair will give you the two traditional Highland colors.

Niamh is available for $9,000. Niamh and Nehemiah are available as a pair for $11,000.

Update: Niamh and Nehemiah sold for $11,000.

Elm Hollow’s Mackay, AHCA # 68815

A well-bred brindle bull calf looking to be a herd sire.

This beautiful little bull, sired by WKA Braxton, was born on 12/14/23. He is brindle with a generous amount of blond frosting in his dossan, down his flat top line and on the tip of his tail. Mackay loves to be groomed and will make a great young herd sire.

He boasts many great bulls in his ancestory on both his sire’s and his dam’s sides. Gusgurlach of Windrush, Sunset Doubletake, CBS Onyx, Skye High Cornerstone, and LiTerra Silverado are all very well known.

Mackay is available for $4,500.

Update: Mackay sold for $4,500.

Elm Hollow’s Mirk, AHCA # 68814

A beautiful steer for a 4H project, pasture ornament, or companion to another Highland or child.

This beautiful steer, sired by WKA Braxton, was born on 12/09/23 to the most loving heifer we have produced at Elm Hollow Farm. Mirk currently has blond frosting in his dossan and down his flat top line, but I suspect that will fade as he matures. Mirk is Elm Hollow’s version of the cookie monster; he truly believes all treats belong to him alone. Mirk can be a winning market steer for your 4H child this year.

Mirk is available for $3,500.

Update: Mirk sold for $3,500.

WKA Annie Get Your Gun # 56824

An impact dam to upgrade your fold.

When you have a cow that has been a favorite for years and given you great calves, it is really hard to part with her.

Annie achieved impact dam status with the birth of her forth calf, Elm Hollow’s Loretta in November of 2022.

The only reason we are offering Annie for sale is that she is half sister to our bull WKA Braxton.

Annie is available for $9,000.

Update: Annie sold for $9,000.

Elm Hollow’s Nancy, AHCA # 68185

Our smallest heifer this year

Born on January 16, 2024, Nancy was Elm Hollow’s New Year’s baby. She only missed my birthdate by two days. Since 2024 is the “N” year for Highlands, I just had to name her after myself. She has had a bit of an attitude from the start, but during halter training, she became our little angel. We don’t measure the height of our cows or calves because we don’t ever claim to sell miniatures, but this girl is little!

Nancy is available with an opening bid of $6,500.

Update: Nancy sold for $8,600.

Elm Hollow’s Muireag, AHCA # 68351

An excellent addition to any serious breeder’s fold.

Born on December 12, 2023, to one of our best cows, Muirneag 3rd of VH, this is our last pasture-bred heifer from BR Voodoo Magic. Muirneag is very feminine and is structurally correct with a straight topline, feet well formed, and body length/depth very well proportioned. As she has grown, Muirneag has developed such pretty highlights. She will be a moderately sized mature cow.

Muireag is available with an opening bid of $6,500.

Update: Muirneag sold for $7,800

Big Ridge Callie, AHCA # 54244

An impact dam with many really nice calves ahead of her.

Callie is an excellent mother and has produced some wonderful calves. She achieved impact dam status with the birth of her fourth calf, Elm Hollow’s Journey, in 2020.

Callie’s classic, thick dossan is passed on to her offspring. And her body has the depth we all look for in a great productive cow.

Callie is available for $8,500.

Update: Callie sold for $8,500.

Elm Hollow’s Manda, AHCA # 68154

A beautiful and gentle heifer from the Sunset line for your fold.

Born on the last day in November, 2023, Manda has been a cutie pie since day one. Manda’s heritage is heavy into the very desirable Sunset line. Manda is structurally correct, with a straight topline, feet well formed, and body depth is very well proportioned.

As she has grown, Manda has developed such pretty highlights! She will be a beauty when full grown. Manda will be a moderately sized mature cow.

Manda is available with an opening bid of $6,500.

Update: Manda sold for $8,100.

Elm Hollow’s Magnus, AHCA # pending

A great little steer for your calf or child.

Brindle is one of my favorite colors! Magnus inherited his stunning brindle color and his gentle nature from both his sire and dam. Born on Nov. 29, 2023, Magnus (meaning great) is aptly named. He truly is a great little steer. He would be a great 4H project steer or an excellent companion animal for a heifer, a bull, or another steer.

He gets along well with both Makenzie, whose sale is June 24, and with Manda, whose sale is June 26. Just like classmates in an elementary school, the calves within a halter class develop a bond as they comfort each other during the stressful time of leaving their mother and learning to trust humans for their needs.

Magnus is available with an opening bid of $2,500.

Update: Magnus sold for $2,500.

Elm Hollow’s Makenzie, AHCA # 68153

A gentle heifer to start or grow your fold.

Makenzie has been alert and playful since the minute she broke free of her mother’s body on November 8, 2023. We find that the feistier they are on day one, the sweeter they become during halter training. Makenzie’s dam is gentle, has wonderful maternal instincts, and is a structurally correct cow.

Makenzie would be a great first Highland for someone or make a wonderful addition to any fold. It appears that she will be a mid to smaller sized Highland and will be easy to handle.

Makenzie is available with an opening bid of $6,500.

Note: Makenzie sold for $9,250.

Elm Hollow’s Mayflower, AHCA # pending

A beautiful heifer calf with all the right stuff.

Born on Thanksgiving day in 2023, an “M” name was needed for Elm Hollow’s second heifer of the season. Mayflower fit her perfectly. This girl and her half brother, Major, are such good friends that they share their mamas with each other!

Mayflower is a delightful heifer calf. She has all the right stuff as far as conformation to Highland standards and her temperament is sweet and easy going.

Mayflower is available with an opening bid of $7,000.

Update: Mayflower sold for $10,000.

Elm Hollow’s Major, AHCA # pending

A perfect companion steer for your calf or child.

There are some calves that you know from day one will be outstanding examples of the Highland breed. Major is one of those calves. Born on Veteran’s Day, 2023 he needed an “M” name, so Major was the perfect fit.

If you’re building a Highland fold and want a quality steer companion that you can safely enter the pasture with, Major is your man. If you’re looking for an easy-to-handle 4H project for your child, Major is your man. I can’t say enough good things about this calf.

Major is available with an opening bid of $2,500.

Update: Major sold for $3,000.

Elm Hollow’s Levi, AHCA # 66243

A two-year-old bull for a young herd sire.

This fantastic little bull, sired by Windkist Acres Clyde was born on 4/17/2022 and will be celebrating his second birthday this month! Levi was reserve champion of his division at the Southeast Highland Cattle show in 2022 at just six months old! With his dun coloring, he can produce calves of every color. Levi has been with some of our girls since January, and he has done an outstanding job. Levi likes to talk, loves to be groomed, and will make a great young herd sire.

Levi is available for $4,000.

Elm Hollow’s Murdoc, AHCA # 66243

A yearling bull calf to bring color and outstanding conformation to your fold.

We could see it when Murdoc was a tiny calf at his mother’s side.  He just got better every day! He was inky black at birth, brown at two months, and is currently black with blond highlights. His adult color will be black, but he will be able to produce a variety of color in his offspring. He’ll also pass on his beautiful conformation.

At the age of 12 months, this fellow is eager to please the ladies, but he needs another season to grow so he can reach the girls.  His dam, LEA Never Enough, AHCA # 57377, is a beautiful cow how has become one of our favorite girls. His sire is Big Ridge Fergus, AHCA # 57487,  Son of MacDonald of Esk, whose sire and dam are from Scotland.  Fergus has such a gentle temperament that I just had to stop and give him chin scratches every time I walked by.  He loves attention and is the gentlest of souls.

Murdoc is available for $4,000.

Update: Murdoc sold for $4,000.
