For Sale
Our main market is selling Purebred Registered Show Quality stud stock to future breeders. We also offer super quiet, halter trained highland and highland x steers to hobby farmers and BnB Owners.
Stud Stock
Please be careful: A lot of scammers have been using our facebook and website photos to scam people into buying fake highlands. I ask all potenitial buyers to visit the farm and my highlands to ensure you and the highland are the best possible fit.
If someone is asking for a deposit first, its not Vagabond Highlands, its a scam.
Our highlands are also not cheap but if you consider they will be with you for 20+ years its worth investing in the very best fit for you. All stud stock are born and bred in Queensland for Queensland conditions. Purebred Registered animals will be paddock friendly, vaccinated with full animal husbandry records and registered with the Australian Highlands Cattle Society., The point of difference for our cattle is we breed for temperment above all else so every weaner calf will be fully halter trained with all the hard work done so you can just enjoy them. When you buy a Vagabond Highland animal, you don’t need to know everything about cattle, just a willingness to learn. Each highland comes with ongoing support including the opportunity to come out to the farm and learn all the skills you need as well as phone support post sale to help in any way you need.
Remember cattle are herd animials so you will need to own atleast two (both don’t need to be highland). You will also need a simple set of cattle yards to undertake animal husbandry, adequate fencing, feed and water and a PIC number. Jules is happy offer advice if requested.
We currently have some purebred registered steer or bull calves $12,000 to $18 000+GST. All will be weaned at about 6-9 months fully vaccinated and halter trained. When we do sell Heifers and Cows they are usually $20,000 to $25 000 +GST.
Please contact us for more details.
Black Bullet
Black Bullet was awarded Champion Bull calf at the Royal Toowoomba Show 2024. Judges comments included length of body and beautiful neck extension. He was born on the 4th of August 2023. He is purebred and registered with the Australian Highland Cattle Society No 10276. He looks unique compared to our other highlands as his father Skye High Cornerstone was bred in America for the US Highland Society. He is significantly bigger than the other boys his age but is so gentle with super long eye lashes. He would be great for someone who would like a big gentle giant with huge horns. Can be steered to make the perfect pet or kept as a bull if you’d like to breed larger framed highlands. Asking $15k +GST with potentially thousands of dollars discount if you buy him with his best friend Prince Harry. Please send us a message if you’d like to see a video of him.
Prince Harry
Prince Harry was awarded 2nd in the 6-12 months category of the Royal Toowoomba Show 2024. Judge’s comments included straight topline, length of hip and shoulder profile made for easy of calving. Prince Harry was born on the 17th of August 2023 and is purebred and registered AHCS no 10275. He was the cutest little calf with a red tinge around his eyes. He has developed into a very docile 11 month old bull with the cutest floppy ears. He loves to snuggle up and is always at my side. He is fully halter trained, vaccinated for 7 in 1 and tick fever. He could be used as a stud bull but would be also ideal as a steer for first time cattle owners or BnB owners. Showing him has allowed him to be used to strangers coming up and interacting with him and have him used to loud noises which he performed perfectly at in the Junior Judge competition where over 100 teenagers surrounded him. His mum is Shadow, one of our old animal nursery highlands and his sire is Gryphon of Glenstrae (an AHCS National Champion Bull winner). Asking $15+GST significantly negotiable if purchased with another vagabond animal. Please send me a message if you’d like to see a video of him or would like to meet the boys.
Paddock Stock
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.
Jaffa
**Sold pending pick up**
Jaffa the friendly Highland x steer. He was born on the 18h Septemeber 2022. His dad is my purebred miniature highland bull and his mum is my all time favourite sussex cow Cadbury. He will become hairy in winter. He is weaned, halter trained and walk up and cuddle friendly. He is fully vacinated for 7 in 1 and tickfever. He would make the perfect pet for someone just starting out in Highlands and he has the beautiful horns without the pricetag. We just adore Jaffa and if not sold, we will keep as a companion for our bull. Discounted to $3,000 +GST
Maz, Tori and Roo
Pregant with Highland x babies.
Maz and Tori are 2 of our Sussex cows who are in calf to our purebred registered Highland Bull. They will produce offspring similar to Jaffa. Sussex are a rare British breed that my grandfather originally bred many years ago. I purchased these girls from my uncle a few of years ago as I thought they would make a good cross with excellent temperment. I would guess their age is about 6. When crossed with my purebred highland bull they produce the most amazing red coloured animals (usually with white tails). They come out horned or polled. I usually sell the calves to hobby farmers and BnB owners however I’ve decided to now specialise in purebred highlands only. Both Tori and Maz have been running with my highland bull and I have recently got them preg tested. Maz is due to calve on 23/09/24, Tori is due 21/10/24. They are paddock cows and not halter trained like my purebred highlands but easily move through the cattle yards. They could be used as future recips.
Roo was one of my recip cows and produced a beautifiul heifer calf which unfortunately got attached by a dog. I had prepped her ready for her next embryo transfer and she was deamed A grade but I’d put my last embryo in an angus cow. She is now pregnant to our purebred highland bull and is due to calve on the 23/02/25. The calves in these photos are of their last year’s babies and Roos little heifer calf.
Asking $4000 +GST each. Significantly discounted to $3500 +GST if you buy all three
Petal
**Sold pending pick up**
Petal was born on the 6th August 2023. She is fully weaned and halter trained. Being highland cross she is polled (no horns). She would be the perfect young heifer for someone just starting out in cattle and looking for a fully halter trained animal to learn on. Asking $5,000 +GST Please message Jules and she will send you videos of Petal as these photos don’t show how beautiful she is.
Angus x Friesian Heifers
Mia, Sadie and Zoe were bought as potiential recips as part of my journey into embryo transfer as surrogates). I ran out of embryos so these girls have been running with my purebred highland bull. Sadie is preg tested incalf (due 17/2/24) and Mia and Zoe have cycled in the past 10 days so likely pregnant now. They have all been full vaccinated for 7 in 1, tick fever, pesti, vibrio etc as required to be a recip. I chose angus x friesian as they are very fertile, have a good milk supply and are great mums. They would be an ideal future recips and in the meantime you would get a beautiful highland x baby. I would keep these girls but don’t think I’ll do a further embryo transfer program in the next 12 months.
Asking $4000+GST or $3500+GST if you buy another highland animal.
