My name is Theo
Theodore of Vagabond was born on the 29th November 2024 and is a purebred miniature highland who is registered with the Poll Highland Society of Australia. He is the son of one of our most special highlands Honey who stars in most of Kelsie Swan Photography Shoots here at the farm. He was certainly a water baby when he was born spending the first 2 weeks of his life in constant rain. He now enjoys hanging out in the dam any chance he gets.
He is a little timid of strangers. After he finishes his halter training, he will be joining his mum in photoshoots so he'll be very used to contact with the public before he goes to his forever home.

My name is Ryder
Ryder of Vagabond was born on the 9th of November 2024. This little cutie is a purebred registered miniature bull calf conceived though AI (his dad is 'Splashboy' from Stoneywood Miniature Highland Stud in Victoria and his mum is Ruby, one of my smallest highlands). He has just started halter training and will be sold fully vaccinated for tick fever and 7 in 1. I just love how interested he is in everyone and everything and how he just walks through the yards without a care in the world. He's pretty smart and has worked out he can put his head through the cattle yard panels and still suck from his mum. He will be available after weaning and halter training (likely towards mid-end of July). We take our time in this process so the calves are 100% comfortable around people and want to spend time with us.
He would suit a small acre farm and can be steered prior to sale to make him the perfect pet or keep him as a future stud bull.
There is transport going past my place at the end of July north to Gladstone then south as far as the hunter valley if you'd like transport booked.

My name is Rocky
Rockford of Vagabond was born on the 24/4/24 and became an internet sensation when he was lost and I found him in a thirty acre paddock as a newborn calf. He is purebred, registered with the Australian Highland Cattle Society and has just been awarded Reserve Champion Highland Calf at the Royal Toowoomba Show 2025.
He is extremely used to strangers and children patting and leading him at the show and in the paddock. He loves a blow dry as part of his show prep. He is the star of our farm photo shoots and was even the ring bearer at a local wedding. He is exceptional and will make a great future bull or be perfect for the first time cattle owner.

My name is Finn
Phinneaus of Vagabond was born on the 21/07/2024 He was born one of our smallest calves. He has now filled out and is looking a lot like his dad Dawson Arrow of Macanleister who was the 2023 Australian Highland cattle society champion bull. Available at weaning. He enjoys munching on a carrot or lucerne cubes.

My name is River ( SOLD)
Diamontina Rivere of Rosewood Coos is one of Haylee’s most loved calves. Ever since River was a newborn, he had the most amazing bond with Haylee and follows her everywhere. He loves cuddles, brushes and scratches. He would make the most amazing therapy animal as he just loves people. He will be steered to keep him the perfect pet. He is a registered miniature and should grow to a bit under 1.2m tall. He has recently attended the Royal Toowoomba Show 2025 and was lead by both young and old. Regretful sale (Haylee has never sold any of her own much loved babies before) but I think we have too many up and coming bulls on the farm so he should go to a smaller loving home.
Asking $15K neg if you buy another highland or crossbred weaner.
Paddock Stock For Sale
Our paddock stock consists of purebred unregistered highlands, cross bred highlands and a few special rare breed Sussex. They are used to being put through the cattle yards and handled by us.
Most people who buy our paddock stock are first time farmers who would like to learn on cattle with all the hard work already done before buying the purebred registered stock.
We currently have some cross bred highland calves for sale when they are weaned at about 6-9 months fully vaccinated and halter trained. Please contact us for more details.

Chief and Blake
We have just finished weaning our highland x sussex calves. Chief and Blake will be ideal for the first time cattle owner or hobby farmer. Sussex is a rare british breed that my grandfather bred many years ago. Both steers will end up with long horns but shorter hair in summer than my purebreds. They will be sold weaned, halter trained and fully vaccinated. This is an excellent way to get into cattle because of the ongoing breeder support for years after you take your calves home (and at a fraction of the cost of my purebreds)
Steers $8K +GST each
All Vagabond Highland animals are discounted if you buy more than one. You may want to buy one of these weaners and Black Bullet

Black Bullet
Black Bullet of Vagabond was born on the 4th August 2023 and is a purebred registered Steer. He was awarded Champion bull calf at the Royal Toowoomba Show 2024 and had no problem being surrounded by over 100 children and young adults as part of the junior judging at the show. He has a beautiful temperament and loves to be brushed in the paddock. You can put a halter on him anywhere and walk him home. This makes him a real asset to any farm as you no longer have to chase cattle, just call him and the others will follow. We have watched him grow and made the difficult decision to steer him as his structure wasn't perfect for a bull but he is perfectly suited for a first time cattle own or hobby farmer. We usually sell our boys at weaning age but I just love him and had kept him and been running him with my cows so I knew when to AI them. He will end up with long horns and has been taught to easily walk through the vet crush. He is sold weaned, halter trained and fully vaccinated.
Steer Black Bullet $8K +GST
All Vagabond Highland animals are discounted if you buy more than one. You may want to buy black bullet with another weaner.
