WHAT IS HIGHLAND PREMIUM BEEF? |
|
|
  
It is beef that comes from Highland cattle that is superior in flavor, tenderness and cooking. Highland (sometimes called Scottish Highland) is a distinct breed of cattle that are generally smaller than Angus and unique in their looks because of their long hair and horns. It is one of the oldest purebred cattle breeds in the world, extremely hardy and first developed
on the cold north Atlantic coast of Scotland. Highland cows will average
900-1,200 pounds when mature. Bulls will average from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds depending on forage conditions. A study by the Scottish
Agricultural College determined that Highland beef is significantly lower in
fat and cholesterol and higher in protein and iron than other beef breeds.
