Diamond Springs Ranch

Meet the herd.

Get up close with the ranch’s Scottish Highland cattle herd — feed, brush, and photograph them.

Scroll

With their long horns, shaggy coats, and gentle personalities, our Scottish Highland cattle have become some of the most loved animals on the ranch. They’re part of everyday life here, accustomed to being around people, and each one seems to have a personality of its own.

The Highland Experience gives you a chance to slow down and spend some time with them — feeding, brushing, taking photos, and getting closer than most people ever have to cattle like these.

For kids, it can be a completely new experience. For adults, it’s often just as memorable. There’s something about standing in the pasture beside one of these big, shaggy animals that brings out a smile.

They’ve become one of the most photographed parts of Diamond Springs Ranch, but pictures are only part of it. There’s just something about meeting a Highland in person.

Who Books the Cattle Experience?

Families, couples, church groups, school field trips, photography enthusiasts who hear about the Highlands and make the drive specifically for them. It’s available standalone or paired with a trail ride for a full day on the ranch. Either way, contact us to get it on the calendar.
