NCHCA Member Testimonial:
Being members of the North Central Highland Cattle Association has benefited us and our farm greatly. We stopped at the Association's display at the Minnesota State Fair for 13 years before we purchased our first Highland cattle. The members at the display always had time to answer questions and information for us to take home. We bought our first animals from people we met walking through the barn at the North Central Regional show. Not only did they sell us our first animals, they encouraged us to attend the National Highland show at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, the annual NCHCA meeting, and helped us over the next few years with questions we had and how to show our animals. Another member from Northern MN knew we needed an animal for some young girls to show and gave us a bottle baby for them to use. Patriot (that bottle baby) is still with us doing great work as a breed ambassador. The Association works hard to provide venues for their members to network and brainstorm; summer picnics at member farms, participation at Scottish Fairs and state fairs and an annual meeting with education sessions. Committees and the Board are continuously working on member education and marketing venues. We have been active members and it has helped us meet many new people, see many operations and how they handle animals and deal with feeding and other husbandry issues. The most important thing is knowing we could call any of the people with a question and they would help if they could, or point us in the right direction; this has been done many times. If you own cattle, registered or not, the North Central Highland Cattle Association is a great place to share your enthusiasm for the breed with others who are happy to do the same.
