The Killochries story will probably reflect that of many other breeders of Highland Cattle. What started out of interest and a vague curiosity quite quickly turned into a passion as these wonderful animals captured our hearts and worked their magic.

The Killochries Fold of Scottish Highland Cattle came into being when in 1995 the Highland Cow Seud Bhuidhe 215 of Benmore was bought in calf at the Pedigree Highland Cattle Show at Oban.

We don’t know if it was fate or sheer luck, but her calf, Seamus of Killochries, became our first stock bull, we do know that his calves were fast growing, sweet cattle of the highest quality. Soon we were expanding, preferring to embrace organic farming we aimed to provide a habitat that benefited not only our newly emerging Fold but also the local wildlife, in particular protected birds and the rare Brown Hare.

The Fold is now in its fourteenth year, includes a specialist Black Fold of Highland Cattle and has gained a reputation of breeding only high quality Highland Cows, Calves and Bulls.
