Pictures from Past Events
2023 HHCA Picnic
The 2023 HHCA Picnic was held at Crescent Highlands Farm in Buffalo on Saturday, May 20th.
What a great day, the weather was perfect and the event had a lot of interesting presentations. We learned how to tattoo the Highlands as Harold Ramey showed how to do it. Shanya Nenneman showed how to halter train her heifer. Also we were able to see what warts look like on cattle and learned how to get rid of them and still be able to put them with other animals.
The keynote speaker was Ken Pratt from B's Meats processing in Fordland, MO
He spoke on the different cuts of beef, as well as the kill weight, carcass weight and final yield.
There was some good food for the potluck meal and great musical entertainment was enjoyed by all.
HHCA Spring Auction.
What a great HHCA spring auction.
There were 77 registered Highlands, 73 unregistered Highlands, 9 steers and 26 Crossbred Highlands.
\
The total of Highlands sold at the 12th annual Highland auction were 185 animals. There were a good amount of females and still a lot of bulls. The bull prices, especially for the younger bulls, were down. Prices for females were good, especially for some of the younger females.
Gross sales were over $628,000.
Check out the prices on the spring auction website at www.highlandauction.com
We had buyers from all over the states, buyers from WY purchasing a lot of Highlands.
New buyers were from NM, TN, IN, OH, and many other states.
We want to thank all the buyers who bid online and use our transporters to ship their Highlands.
Think about the 7th fall Highland auction on Saturday Dec. 2, 2023
See you then
HHCA Annual gathering and meeting.
