For Sale

Our main market is selling Purebred Registered Show Quality stud stock (especially bulls) to future breeders. We also offer super quiet, halter trained highland and highland x steers to hobby farmers and BnB Owners.

Stud Stock

Please be careful: A lot of scammers have been using our facebook and website photos to scam people into buying fake highlands. I ask all potenitial buyers to visit the farm and my highlands to ensure you and the highland are the best possible fit.

If someone is asking for a deposit first, its not Vagabond Highlands, its a scam.

Our highlands are also not cheap but if you consider they will be with you for 20+ years its worth investing in the very best fit for you. All stud stock are born and bred in Queensland for Queensland conditions. Purebred Registered animals will be paddock friendly, vaccinated with full animal husbandry records and registered with the Australian Highlands Cattle Society or Poll Highland Cattle Society of Australia. The point of difference for our cattle is we breed for temperament above all else so every weaner calf will be fully halter trained with all the hard work done so you can just enjoy them. When you buy a Vagabond Highland animal, you don’t need to know everything about cattle, just a willingness to learn. Each highland comes with ongoing support including the opportunity to come out to the farm and learn all the skills you need as well as phone support post sale to help in any way you need.

Remember cattle are herd animials so you will need to own atleast two (both don’t need to be highland). You will also need a simple set of cattle yards to undertake animal husbandry, adequate fencing, feed and water and a PIC number. Jules is happy offer advice if requested.

If you’re going to breed, buy the best quality and quietest bull you can afford as he determines you whole herd direction. We currently have some purebred registered bull calves and steers for $12,000 to $18 000+GST. All will be weaned at about 6-9 months fully vaccinated and halter trained. When we do sell Heifers and Cows they are usually $20,000 to $25 000 +GST.

Please contact us for more details.

RIVER

River

Diamontina Rivere of Rosewood Coos is one of Haylee’s most loved calves. Ever since River was a newborn, he had the most amazing bond with Haylee and follows her everywhere. He loves cuddles, brushes and scratches. He would make the most amazing therapy animal as he just loves people. He will be steered to keep him the perfect pet. He is a registered miniature and should grow to a bit under 1.2m tall. He has recently attended the Royal Toowoomba Show 2025 and was lead by both young and old. Regretful sale (Haylee has never sold any of her own much loved babies before) but I think we have too many up and coming bulls on the farm so he should go to a smaller loving home. Asking $15K neg if you buy another highland or crossbred weaner.

Cutie and Special

Cutie and Special *SOLD*

Cutie has always had the most beautiful of temperments. Children have been able to walk up and pat him since the day he was born. He has turned in a lovely brindle colour. Cutie was part of our first embryo and has his registration with the AHCS pending. (awaiting DNA results to come back). His dam is Pie in the Skye of Vagabond and Sire is Lord Montagu of Greenlaw

Finn

Expressions of interest

Ryder

Expressions of Interest Ryder was born on the 9/11/2024. Both his parents are mid sized miniature and he will be registered with the Poll Highland society as a miniature. He will be available at weaning fully halter trained and vacinated. Asking 16K plus GST

Rocky

Rocky

Rokford of Vagabond was born on the 24/4/24 and became an internet sensation when he was lost and I found him in a thirty acre paddock. He is purebred, registered with the Australian Highland Cattle Society and has just been awarded Reserve Champion Highland Calf at the Royal Toowoomba Show 2025. He is extremely used to strangers and children pating and leading him at the show and in the paddock. He is exceptional and will make a great future bull or be perfect for the first time cattle owner.

Askinng 15K plus GST

Theo

Theo is the son of our Honey. He spent the first week of his birth being rained on and has turned into a real water baby. He is a purebred with both parents being miniatures. He was born on the 29/11/24 and will be available at weaning. Asking 16K plus GST

Black Bullet

Black Bullet is walk up and pat in the paddock friendly and has had multiple exposure to strangers approaching him. I have recently steered him as I think he would be perfect for someone new to cattle or BnB owners/wedding venues. He can easily have a halter put on him in the paddock and lead back to the yards and walks through the race with ease. He was awarded Champion Bull calf at the Royal Toowoomba Show 2024. He was born on the 4th of August 2023 and is now developing a beautiful set of horns. He is purebred and registered with the Australian Highland Cattle Society No 10276. He looks unique compared to our other highlands as his father Skye High Cornerstone was bred in America for the US Highland Society. He is significantly bigger than the other boys his age (he is standard size not miniature) Asking $8k +GST discounted from $15K as he is now a steer. He is fully vaccinated for 7 in 1 and tick fever and has been exposed to ticks, lantana and fireweed for his whole life. Being bred in Qld conditions makes him the ideal steer to live in all parts of Queensland. All Vagabond Highlands cattle come with ongoing support which makes the transition to owning highlands stress free. Contact us if you’d like videos of Black Bullet or would like to arrange to come and meet him.

Bill of Ardvorlich

our Purebred Highland Bull

Bill’s favourite thing to do is hang out with me and eat lucerne cubes off the back of the quadbike. I bought him less than 12 months ago as a mop-up bull after I did AI with my cows. I’m pleased to announce he has got 100% of my cows he has been with pregnant (confirmed by blood tests and more recently live calves on the ground). He is a gentle giant who moves through the cattle race by turning his head down and on an angle to get his horns through. He has never ever shown any aggression and enjoys being with his herd. He is purebred registered AHCS number 8757 and is 7 years old. I bought Bill to be our herd sire until our young bull Peter Pan is at breeding age which he will be in the near future (hence the planned sale of Bill). Bill was fully vet checked before I bought him and is up to date on his 7 in 1 and had his tick fever vaccine. We are in ticky country with fireweed and lantana and he copes well with the heat here in Qld. Having previous exposure to ticks is so important as adult bulls with no immunity are very vunerable. He would make someone a great paddock bull and potentially a good lease bull. You would need a truck to transport him but I can organise a stock inspector if you’d like to take him up on the downs. Asking $8000+GST (neg if you buy other vagabond cattle). Please message me if you would like a video or Bill or would like to meet him.

Paddock Stock

Our paddock stock consists of purebred unregistered highlands, cross bred highlands and a few special rare breed Sussex. They are used to being put through the cattle yards and handled by us. Most people who buy our paddock stock are first time farmers who would like to learn on cattle with all the hard work already done before buying the purebred registered stock.

We currently have some cross bred highland calves for sale when they are weaned at about 6-9 months fully vaccinated and halter trained. Please contact us for more details.

Highland x Sussex calves

Highland x Sussex Weaners

We have just started weaning our highland x sussex calves. These calves will be ideal for the first time cattle owner or hobby farmer. Sussex is a rare british breed that my grandfather bred many years ago. Both steers will end up with long horns but shorter hair in summer than my purebreds. The heifer is polled (no horns). They will be sold weaned, halter trained and fully vaccinated. This is an excellent way to get into cattle because of the ongoing breeder support for years after you take your calves home (and at a fraction of the cost of my purebreds)

Steers $8K +GST each

Heifer $10K +GST

All Vagabond Highland animals are discounted if you buy more than one. You may want to buy one of these weaners and Black Bullet
