- One of our Highland Cattle cows gave birth. When I was feeding them I didn't notice it at all but a couple hours later I saw the little one...

Awwwwwwwww doesn't even begin to cover it.
Lisa is the cutest name for a cow, ever
What a sweet and beautiful video. I love your deep love and connection to the farm and animals, very touching.
If the homestead doesn't work out you can always become a cinematographer. Your work is exceptional.
Sign on a ranch gate
"Our bull can cross the pasture in 2.5 seconds how fast are you.
No trespassing!"
LOL Oh my, now that is a good one.
The look on Bella's face! That was priceless. Lol She stopped chewing and just looked guilty when she heard her name.
I wish this new family and the other beautiful animals a long, happy , healthy famiily life together!
These cows look SO much cooler and cuter then any of the cows I have EVER seen.
That is the sign of a satisfied animal giving birth and bringing it in dry, healthy and no issues with no intervention, job well done!
This is soo sweet! ❤️❤️Thank you for sharing! I wish I could cuddle him!
Beautiful ending with the image rising into the sky. Thank you for sharing your life and that of the cows.
The moment the mother cow came to protect her calf. Something deep inside me were touched by this emotionally.
Congratulations Lisa! Beautiful Baby May❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Blessings to all
What a good momma. Life is wonderful.
Ahhhh how precious. Thank you for posting!! God Blessing upon you and your family
Beautiful. So beautiful little May. 100% love in your family 🍀💕🍀
Ahh .. that was great Simeon .. I enjoy your film making as much as your farming .. great day :)
So enjoy your stories, lessons and actual video knowledge about your farming and lives. Admire you and wife so very much! Hard work but so appreciate your efforts.
May is lovely! She looks bright and healthy!!
Wow... beautiful scene where the mother tries to protect her young. You can tell she's torn... really nice video, Simeon!
Congradulations! Beautiful baby with attentive mama. Very glad no babies in the snow.
What a great heart you have. I love the way you interact with your cattle. Best wishes.
The birth of cattle, goats, horses, dogs, cats and other animals in our care gives us the opportunity to touch the hand of God and witness the gift of life! Take good care of your little May.
there is no god animals where around long before god and you humans and stop the bible bull shit they are not here to be eaten people that eat them will die and be hunted and removed and all animals don`t give you consent to eat / abuse them people are filthy parasites aswell fruit and veg is better for you no need to be lazy and kill another living creature just to get a easy meal
Gorgeous cattle
Sweet mama and baby. Love those Highlanders!!!
your a special loving man, I love you and your beautiful cows there really cute, thank you for being a beautiful human person with a heart so big its warm and comforting.
Simeon you are very patience I think you are a very good man may god bless you and your family 🤩❤️🇺🇸👏
Wow, Simeon! Thanks for sharing that with us. My 3 year old grandson was enraptured with it all. So was I.
Thank you for sharing the new heifer and educating us about the breed.
Congratulations! She is Beautiful! I remember seeing my first Heifer born when I was in 3rd grade 7 or 8 years of age. Freaked me out, I was a half mile from our home and all alone. I ran all the way home to tell my mom and ask if she needed to call someone? She laughed and said that is were cows come from.
It was amazing to see what a good mother she was being, for a first time mother, she came as soon as the calf called but maintained her trust and did not panic when you had hold of the calf. I have to assume that much of that comes from your earlier approach to handling her wen she was so scared and let her decide when to come out of the forest and develop some trust. There seems to be good potential there for a cow with good instincts but also in control of them, you can't ask for much more to raise your next generation.
I'm so happy for you! Love your cattle!
Proud dad Simeon, with a beautiful calf. Well done Lisa, looking like a great mom. The drone footage at the end was so well done, it brought a lump to my throat. "Bright new world". Tony from england.
What a kind, hard working ,gentle man you are. You’re so good to you animals. Respect.
What a beautiful breed. Congratulations on the new calf. It's beautiful.
I can see you love your animals so much. That’s is so sweet
I just started watching your channel, I love Highland cows, I think they are some of the prettiest animals.
OMG, so adorable. Beautiful breed, love the hair on him.
I really like your channel. I was a dairy farmer in my younger days, in Kentucky, USA. Beautiful new addition to your herd!
Congratulations on a beautiful, healthy heifer calf. I hope May will grow up to be a wonderful addition to your fold.
Beautiful baby. Love these Highland Cattle!
I love that you're attached to the land and animals; appreciate the intuitive thinking used to make sure everything is copestetic for the cattle to continue on.
Aww so fuzzy and sweet. Looks like Chewbacca
i work at a office for 10 hr a day... watching you living like that make me rethink life
My cows are great at hiding their calves. I walked the 42 acres looking for them many a time.
How often do they hide in the woods and/or hide their calves. Is it necessary to know where their calves are? I am raising money for land now. I want to raise this breed of calves. I"ll have live-in help. I'm a single female with neuro-muscluar damage. I'm quite weak. I can walk, but not too far or too many times. Must limit my exertion or it will knock me down to nothing.
I'm determined to have a self-sustaining farm and looking to make things as low labor as possible. I plan to have protecting and herding dogs, fencing, etc. I'll likely have Permaculture fencing that I'm not required to move the fencing to move them. One property I am looking at is 120 acres pasture with over 200 acres woods.
I"ve heard the bulls can turn mean reacting as he mentioned here or the mothers being very protective. Is it easy enough to avoid if they react violently, or do they chase you to attack you?! I also heard in one video that one processing plant said they wouldn't process because of the horns, that this added too much to their operation. Is it easy enough to set up an operation on the land?
I'm really excited about doing this. I just love Highlander Cows. My friend was shocked that the cows stay outside all the time. I think it gets to -20 F where I will be moving. I haven't decided on the land, but this is roughly the lowest temperature.
Does anyone have any comments on any of this or how many cows per acre, and how difficult is is to have 150 cows versus 40-50? It would seem to me that increasing from 50 to 150 really wouldn't be much different of a workload. Is my logic correct?
I also wonder about separating the bulls and how difficult it is to expand through breeding. If I am going for four generations to get to 150 or so cows, do I have to separate all generations from lineage on both the mother and bull's side?
I don't expect anyone to answer all. I'd love for anyone with experience to comment on this or other.
It seems to me that Permaculture Animal farming is easier and less labor-intensive, as well as maybe more profitable than most crops, even if I hire certain aspects of it, like the butchering or special tasks.
These cows are so majestic. I am absolutely wild for them. I feel like they are long lost friends or family members reuniting with, through my German and Norwegian history.
Traci Scheelk no one answered back. I guess you start out small. Don't be in too big a rush to get big. Seems like it might be too much but I don't know. I have movement problems too. You should try volunteering on a homestead to see. People can do more tha others think sometimes. :) hope you are doing well in these times.
You have made an excellent video. Your knowledge of the breed, and its native instincts, is wonderful and very important. May you continue to enjoy much success -- your focus on this breed is so very important!
Oh what a beautiful calf! I love how innocent they look when they are first meeting their new world. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome new member of the herd, congratulations
Years of work, planning and she's a heifer. Congratulations, time for the new bull soon. I hope the beef demand has you sold out, buying from the neighbor to fill demand and still make a profit. Cant wait to see the fields on rotation this year! Great job.
Congratulations Simeon and Lisa! A beautiful scene. We're all smiles too. Thanks for sharing.
What a happy day. Congratulations!!
Beautiful video on all levels. Thank You!
😮 I had never seen these. How beautiful they are! 🤗
Very nice moving / emotional ending starting at 10:45 .....Thank You !
They really are such a beautiful breed. Adorable little one
Congratulations on such a strong, healthy heifer! And yes, I'll bet she calved last night!
I'm so glad you and everything about this is in existence
Dude, I love your videos. Heck, I love your farm, your herd, all of it. God is good!
Highlands are the best moms
Such a beautiful video. What you and your family are doing is so great! Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Congratulations on the new addition to your homestead
This breed is so adorable !
Very Happy Healthy New Born. God bless you.
This was a wonderful video, Simeon! Thank you.
Gold Medal on that Fence jump!
Hard hitting snap on the fence......hope you noticed.
Thanks for video. Thats awsome
Beautiful breed. I live in Texas and have never seen this breed before. Beautiful! ❤️👍
She’s BEAUTIFUL
I love the look of Highland cattle. I had 2 blonde heifers for about 2 years but I had to get rid of them once they learned to jump the fence. I would not have believed that a cow could jump a 4 foot fence from a standstill had I not witnessed it myself. I have Angus crosses now. They do not seem inclined to jump. At least so far.
They can acted like big goats. I have seen it too.
So, why not have higher fences?
Sue M, a higher fence wouldn't work. Once they jump it, they will continue trying. And it would cost more than $10K.
@@simeonandalex I love watching your videos. You are keeping me from making the money to buy my land. I fell in love with these Highlanders through you. I KNEW immediately that I had to raise these beautiful animals. I love your other farming videos too. I've watched many over the last few days.
Thank you for all you share. I'll be donating as soon as I am able. I'm just starting working now after being disabled long time...still am, but with gained strength and no pain. I'm going to find a way to work a self-sustaining farm for profit, permaculture, with a disability...weak muscles. I'm hoping I'll get a healing, but will just have to make it as low-labor as possible.
I'll be in the Ozarks, so have plenty of winter. These cows are amazing. I wonder how much different the milk, butter, and cheese tastes from these cows. I bet it is very unique. I saw the video where you talk about the high-fat content and marbled and lower-fat meat.
I want to have 150 or more cows. This I say before planning. I want at least 120 acres of pasture. I found one with that many acres pasture, plus 200 acres of woods. I'll be in touch with your channel through continuing to watch and let you know when I chose the land. You and your family are always welcome.
I'm not far enough in planning. I'll likely start with a few dozen cows and a few bulls, then breed from there. I'm not sure how it all works yet. I only discovered a few days ago. I'm so excited!
I saw you today for your visit to America. North Carolina is my favorite state in America. I've been to Colorado four times when I was younger and the Alps when I was in the Army. I loved the Alps more than the Rockies in Colorado. Then, I lived in North Carolina. I thought I died and went to heaven when I moved to N.C. I sure hope you got a chance to see the Black Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway before the color was gone.
I"m moving to the Ozarks for safety. If war breaks out or racial violence, it is the safest area sorrounded by four rivers and because of the terrian, the most impenatrable place in America. I'm hoping to build a community, bringing some families from South Africa that need help and any other Whites. You will always be welcome. We can pitch in building cob and other type sustainable houses for each other and tending the land. If there is ever a famon, there won't be with us. :)
Thank you for the inspiration and sharing your knowledge. I follow European News and care deeply for all OUR WHITE ISRAEL PEOPLE. ANGLO SAXONS (EURO DESCENT) ARE BLOOD ISRAEL. WE WIN.
Oh these cows are beautiful !
What a healthy good looking calf. Congratulations Simeon (and Lisa) haha.
Beautiful family/farm/land! Congratulations for all your success!!!
Such pretty cattle. :) The natural looking ones. They are quite small, but I like them. They look like they can survive in the wild still. :)
Instant big smile this time, Simeon! Wonderful! 🎼🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵 Also, 100.000 subs. 😎
Loved your video! I'm a city girl and it's the first time I've seen Highland cattle. They're beautiful animals! The calf is absolutely adorable! I was worried the mother would charge you, when you were piercing it's calfs ear. It's obvious, how much she trusts you. Thanks for sharing!
A baby Congratulations xxx🤗🤗🤗😙😚..and thanks for sharing..love U.Gived of Life..beautiful😍😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😙😚😘😘🐂🐂
This popped up on my main UA-cam page. I love animals so had to see it. What a beautiful breed and what a blessing to have a healthy baby.
USA Resident i love animals but these are destined to be slaughtered. This is not a sanctuary. We no longer need to consume animals for survival or optimal health and slaughterhouses are hell on earth for these gentle creatures.
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094 These animals are slaughtered and butchered on the farm. Your dietary preferences are your own and trying to promote them on a farming channel where the farmer is trying his upmost to give his animals the best living conditions is pointless. Just because you watched "Cowapocolypse" doesn't make you an expert on farming practises.
Simply adorable.
Outstanding choice of music @ the end...to facilitate the true wonder & miracle of life......& then the regeneration of yet another life....in God's divine plan for every living thing on earth. Your video's are so special & I'm privileged to watch them. Thank you.
Amazing, beautiful cattle. Brought happy tears to my eyes. :) You're a great person. Keep rocking!
I love your cattle, haven't seen them in the US. Great shot of mom and calf at the end.
Beautiful music accompanied this lovely video
