Acorn Ridge Scotch Highland Beef
Here at Acorn Ridge Highlands, we specialize in raising Scotch Highland cattle. Unlike most other breeds of cattle, Scotch Highlands do not need to store extra body fat to stay warm (the Highland is insulated by long, shaggy hair). This fact has led Scotch Highlands to become world-renowned as a lightly marbled, fine of grain, and distinctively flavourful beef.

Why Highland Beef?
Our father was recovering from his third open heart surgery, and many members of our family were being diagnosed as having high cholesterol levels. However, we did not want to sacrifice the enjoyment of a delicious steak or juicy hamburger from time to time.
It was important to us to find an alternative to the beef available in most grocery stores and butcher shops. We analyzed over 150 different breeds of cattle to find the one breed that best suited our needs. We decided on the Scotch Highland for many reasons. This particular breed sounded like it would meet our criteria – lower in fat and cholesterol, but without sacrificing the flavor and tenderness of fine cuts of beef.
We then set out to purchase some of this beef for our personal use. However, after doing so, we found availability was very limited. Most “cattle” people were not interested in the Scotch Highland due to its slower growth rate, thus making it very costly for them to raise. We felt the best way to try it was to raise a couple of our own. we were very excited about our results and felt there were others with the same needs as ours.
Our priority is your satisfaction. All Acorn Ridge Beef is high quality, tender, flavorful, and free of antibiotic feed treatments and steroid implants.
