New Zealand’s Most Dynamic & Professional Highland Cattle Stud

Almost thirty years ago Lauril and Drew Stein founded the Trossachs Simmental Stud.  Trossachs won numerous prizes in the show ring and gained a reputation for breeding quality Simmental stock.

However, in the mid eighties, Lauril and Drew diversified the Trossachs’ operation and began breeding Highland Cattle, having purchased some of the best available breeding stock in New Zealand. 

These first animals were registered in Scotland and could trace their pedigrees back to the Queen’s Balmoral Fold.  Imported straws were used and so ‘Trossachs Highlands’ became an entity in its own right, farmed alongside the Simmental Stud.

Slowly, but surely, the Highland Stud grew, and in 1988 was, in a formal sense, established as one of New Zealand’s Premier Highland Cattle Studs.  Since that time, Trossachs Highlands has continued to grow, based on the principle of ‘only breeding quality stock’, and have continually been at the forefront of the Highland Cattle industry.

Based on the principle of quality, Trossachs Highlands have continued to develop unique bloodlines which have won numerous prizes and champion ribbons around New Zealand Show rings: For example, ‘Hector of Mathoura’, one of Australia’s top breeding bulls was recently imported into New Zealand by Trossachs Highlands and now stands at stud alongside the other four Trossachs Highlands herd sires.

Therefore, if you are looking for the complete Highland cattle package and quality with assurance and satisfaction guaranteed The Trossachs Highlands is the place to shop.

All grades of animals, both stud and other, are always available and provided with a complete back-up and support service from the Trossachs Highlands Professionals.

All enquiries and on-farm visits are welcome.
