Find Your Moo Love at High On A Hill

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, our family has found true love — I mean “moo” love — in the miniature Highland cows at High On A Hill Dairy Goats. Located just 30 miles from Tulsa in Kellyville, the farm is a piece of heaven on 25 acres. They primarily raise dairy goats, but also have Kunekune pigs, chickens, and now, the most adorable cows on the planet. The farm is also well known for hosting goat yoga, which they offer on Saturday or for private groups by appointment.

In fall 2023, farm owner Leah got her first two micro miniature Highland cows after being on a waitlist for two and a half years! Leah told me that she didn’t even get off of the original waitlist, but ended up getting her cow crew from other locations in multiple states instead. Now there are three of them. Two are micro mini cows and the other a mini cow. Their names are Willie, Winnie, and Whimsy. The micro minis, Willie and Winnie, will be 3 feet tall when fully grown. All enjoy being brushed and having their chins scratched. Our family fell in love with their gentle demeanor and sweet faces. 

It was easy to understand why anyone would want to take a short drive to the farm for one of these “Cow Cuddling” sessions. It was very therapeutic. Based on the adorableness factor alone, our family could understand why the waitlist for these beautiful, docile animals was so long, but there is more to the Highland mini cow than their good looks. 

What’s so special about the Highland mini cow or micro mini cow?

• They are suitable for smaller farms or properties.
• Their reduced size means they require less pasture and are easier to manage. 
• Due to their grazing being less impactful on the land, they are a great option for people interested in sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices. 
• Mini Highland cows are known for excellent temperament and trainability making them excellent companions. 

We also made goat friends with Ana, Elsa, and Lilo. We were told there was a Stitch, but he was dirty at the moment, which seemed fitting for the name! The goats were fun and talkative while we were there. If you don’t think you’re a goat person, try spending time with Nigerian dwarf goats, and I bet you’ll change your mind! They were darling.

The kids and the kids (goats) – pun intended!

Owning and maintaining farm animals is a major commitment of time, energy, and financial resources. It’s a good thing there are some wonderful farms to visit nearby where you can relax, unwind and make new furry friends without buying one yourself! Leave it to professionals like High On A Hill Dairy Goats for your goat cuddling, goat yoga, and cow cuddling needs.
