Highland cattle milk is much higher in fat than that of dairy breeds. Holstein milk is about 3.5% fat, where Jersey is up to about 4.5%. Highland cattle milk is around 10% fat. This would be a pretty thick drinking milk, but would make very nice, rich cheese.

There are many good breeds that survive on primarily grass.

Other breeds like Texas Longhorn, Brangus, Senepol and Brahman are other breeds that do very well on grass as well. Go with the breed that you like best and will do well in your locality. You may want to find a breed that will also match your market, again depending on where you live.
