Breeders of NZ highland
cattle
Eadon
Farm has been breeding high quality cattle for well over 10 years. We pride ourselves on the reputation and
success we have created as breeders of
NZ highland
cattle.
There
are many factors
that contribute to excellence in breeding and having high-quality highland cattle for sale. Good temperament is vital in our selection of
breeding cattle, along with good conformation and handling. Having quiet cattle that are used to handling
allows easy vet/farmer treatments when necessary.
Registrations
All
our animals have been recorded with NAIT as per New Zealand government
requirements and are registered with the New Zealand Highland Cattle Society
(NZHCS). We have full pedigree
certificates available, along with calving records, etc. The NZHCS Herdbook is available for anyone to
look up – our Eadon history of current registered cattle can be seen here:

Respect and Care for Animals
Our
cattle are farmed cattle, not pets. As
beef cattle, many will end up in someone’s freezer. While we love them for their looks and
personality, realism makes itself heard.
Yes – many may become pets and that’s fine. Others produce calves for many years or just
become part of someone’s beautiful scenery.
Regardless
of the ultimate destination, well cared for cattle make for easier farming and
more tender meat if they are home killed.
Animal health and wellbeing is important for all animals and we take
these seriously.
Eadon Fold
Our
farm is 220 acres of easy to medium hill country with pockets of native
bush. The pasture is mixed, with mostly
high-quality grazing paddocks. We also
have a few acres of rough pasture, which the Eadon
highland
cattle
, in particular, love exploring.
We enjoy the beauty of our farm which is specially designed to keep man
and beast super-fit!
