About the Item
Old colored lithograph by Fairland after W. Nicholson, from "The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Isles" by David Low, published in London, 1842.
The lithograph depicts the West Highland breed, including a cow and a young bull. The cow was bred by Mr. Maxwell of Aros, Mull, and the young bull, 18 months old, was bred by McConnochie of Gesto.
The image showcases detailed illustrations of the breed, with particular attention to their physical characteristics, set against a rugged coastal backdrop. The lithograph was drawn on stone and printed by Fairland, with publication details indicating its release in February 1840 by Longman, Orme, Brown, Green, & Longmans, Paternoster Row, London.
The West Highland breed of cattle, also known as Highland cattle, remains a robust and popular breed today. These cattle are well-regarded for their hardiness and adaptability, qualities that have allowed them to thrive in various environments around the world.
Current Status:
1. **Global Presence:** Highland cattle are found in North America, Europe, Australia, and South America. They are especially popular in the United States and Canada, with numerous regional associations and breeders dedicated to the breed.
2. **Adaptability:** Known for their ability to thrive in less-than-ideal conditions, Highland cattle have excellent mothering instincts, longevity, and low calf mortality rates, making them highly desirable for beef production.
3. **Market Demand:** There is a growing demand for Highland beef due to its quality. The breed's double coat allows them to marble naturally on low input forage, producing lean, flavorful cuts of beef without the need for grain feeding.
Associations and Breeders:
- **American Highland Cattle Association (AHCA):** This organization supports Highland cattle breeders in the US, providing resources, registration, and promoting the breed's qualities
- **Northwest Highland Cattle Association:** Offers regional support for breeders and promotes the sale and marketing of Highland cattle and bee.
- **Midwest Highland Cattle Association:** Focuses on education and events to support and promote Highland cattle in the Midwest.
