You probably tried making classic Osso Bucco. It is awesome. For recipes for shank, treat it like beef stew. Sear the shank pieces well then use like stewing beef. Propper Osso Bucco is worth doing.

My fav animals hands down

The most important thing to know about raising Highland cattle is that they are really only an economic proposition on marginal land that is more or less useless for anything else because they will eat anything and can withstand cold and rain better than any other breed. They are extraordinarily resilient to inclement weather and poor diet. So would you be if you were raised on a Scottish hillside with precious little to eat and had to withstand long, hard, cold winters outdoors. However, they are no good as milkers because of low yields and because their calves need nearly all of it anyway in order to thrive. Most importantly of all, they do not reach maturity until they are at least thirty months old and it can take up to three years. This is nearly twice as long as it takes more commercial beef breeds to mature to slaughter and while you might get a little more for Highland beef as it's a niche market, you certainly won't get anything like twice as much for it. Anyway, their beef is not as tasty as Aberdeen Angus in the first place. I'm Scottish, so I might know a little bit about it. Still, they're lovely gentle beasts and ideal for the hobby farmer. Their history is quite extraordinary as well. I'll bet you didn't know that the word 'blackmail' is Scottish in origin and I can't be bothered telling you why, but it's all to do with these cattle, which were mainly black three or four centuries ago.

DNA testing will let you know if there is anything else in your unregistered cows; with genetic testing, some of these registration organizations should allow you to register your cows or dogs with that proof. They could make extra fees for the organization and it could be some special registration without the lineage that this animal has been proven to be pure. It will allow for more registered stock or dogs, etc.

I have been interested in Highland cows for years, long before I decided to get my own acreage. I wanted highland cows because they are smaller than the normal breeds often seen on farms and ranches.. I also live in Canada so knew that the highlands would do best in the kind of winters we get up here.

Not critical! Very informative video. Thank you so much!

We just bought a farmhouse with 7 acres! I would love to get one of these :)

It's nice to see Americans keeping Highlands and not bothering about their colour. Here in Scotland we've been breeding out everything except the iconic honey colour for centuries. In fact, naturally they were originally mainly black, which gave rise to the word 'blackmail', which was the money demanded by Lowland Scottish clans to allow Highlanders to drive their cattle south across their land to the great 'trysts' or cattle auctions where the beasts were sold, slaughtered, butchered and the carcases mainly salted and barreled to feed the Royal Navy.

My moneys on coyotes, i would assume Mountain Lion would carry it off, they stash food, unless it got startled and killed it and ran, it should still have come back to feed. Good luck with the fold, highland cattle are the best

They are pretty ❤ I really love June Bug on Chad Doss farm ❤️❤️

Do you know any good breeders up in Canada? Im in ontario

She didn’t die in vain. The knowledge gained by you & others will continue to help other calves. “When you have livestock, you’ll also have some dead stock”.

Is her knee joint ok?

lol y'all know they get to 1100 lbs? Cuddle THAT

No! Keep them as pets and dairy cows instead, their too cute to eat 😭🐮

Beautiful garden enclosure!

I heard you say you have chickens but i didnt see a video with them. Please make one. Pure breeds or egg cross producers i love chickens and id like to see what you have compared to such interesting cattle breed.

Black Raspberry is my favorite type of bramble berries. She was cute eating her peas!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I see you have red, white and brindle. Do you have black and yellow as well? I'm brand new to your channel. They are the most beautiful breed of cattle i think!

Everyone thinks wagyu & Kobe beef is the best in the world, but I disagree. I think Highlander beef is the best.

I like the smaller, black West Highlands.

En otras oportunidades veo que el becerro cae en un ambiente cubierto por una sábana limpia o un saco limpio.

thank you for this video ❤ me and my wife watched it during our visit to the mall! Congrats on the success

I'm just looking at the type of cow I want. This is so helpful, I love the highland because they seem to be dual purpose and good nature. Is that your experience with them?❤

Those are long haired cows used to cold weather. There should be a lot of shaded areas for them. I do not see any covered areas of shade, even that "barn type" structure was East West facing it looked like, offering no shade at all. Those animals are cold climate animals and should not be in full sun like other bovines.

Do they freeze them for you or did I miss some dry ice?

From kansas here!!! My kids brought me a ton of sandplums and ask for jelly. How much water did you use to boil your sandplums?

Do you need to have your cow registered if you intend to sell the beef for profit/business??

5+ mins in to the video and you still haven't said a price... Smh

I sure do like to see them running, stamped. Thanks for sharing.

Good on ya for checking up on her! Breach births rarely turn out good on their own. congrats!

My sister had four highlands with an aim for the meat, 5 years later she has 12 as she said they are too adorable and she has become so attached that she has gone vegetarian (🙄). I was so looking forward when she initially said they were for meat and will be totally organic (🙄🙄). The calves are so cute and friendly, my kids can’t wait to visit her and we’re talking about turning veggie too. (😂). Nice amount of meat you harvest and I bet it was delicious 👍🍻

I love the really dark one with red tint. He is gorgeous. Jesus Christ loves you. ❤❤❤

She has always been one of my favorites. She so pretty ❤❤

Rhett, love your videos, and I love those fuzzy coos.

❤❤🥰

I'm in Mustang, Oklahoma. My friends laugh at me for making jam, but i love it. Would love to pick your brain one day.

I'm in Mustang, Ok. I'm coming to fish your ponds, thanks in advance!

Gotta love gods creation!!

What do you do if you want a highland cow But you do not have a Farm.

Love blackberries- but are the thornless varieties as sweet and juicy as the wild ones that have thorns?

Love hearing from you. Always so happy to see your beautiful cows and listen to your information. God bless you, your family, and everything on your farm.

❤❤🥰

Just wanted to let you know you are a large portion of why we got our first Highland a year ago and start our channel. Thank you for being such a good source of info. As we go our first calf we are going to try the calving sensor!

Great video love the herd

Love your videos. And those fluffy babies melt my heart. Guess I’m a Scot’s for good reason. ❤

❤❤❤❤❤😊

lovely highlands. not a farmer but looking to have some highlands. Any tax advantages or disadvantages to unregistered highlands?

Great topic!! I love learning info I didn’t even realize I needed to know about.

Thank you for the video. Blessings.🙏🫶🙏🫶 🥰
