Schon Boden's Leila, or Leila, as we call her, is our most exceptional cow and is a perfect display of what a Scottish Highland should resemble. Leila is a red AHCA Cow who came to us from Spring Hill Farm in Mount Vernon, Missouri. 

Leila was born April 24, 2015 out of El Czar del Azur #41,899 and Schon Boden's Lydia #51,534.

Ella Della has a deep body with a mahogany red color fur and a handsome curly dossan (the famous highland "bangs"). Ella Della previously had a case of pinkeye that was slow to receive treatment which resulted in one of his eyes developing the "pink eye blue glaze."

Lazy Knoll Holly was born June 25, 2025 and is already very independent and curious in nature. She has very light eyes we anticipate will likely be green like her dam. 

*Lazy Knoll Holly is currently nursing off of her mother and will not be available until she is weaned at approximately 6 months old on December 25, 2025 - Just in time for Christmas!*

*Holly has been reserved and will be moving to her new home Christmas 2025!*

Lazy Knoll Beavis is a yellow AHCA bottle baby steer out of our yellow cow Spring Hill's Ida #67,353 & Cactus Hill Shawnee #66,281. 

Lazy Knoll Beavis was born July 16, 2025 with contracted legs which made it difficult for him to walk. Beavis was taken to the vet for a checkup, of which he was determined to be healthy but slightly premature which contributed to his contracted joints. We worked with him daily stretching and massaging his front legs and he was up and walking within approximately 1 week. At that point he had been bottle fed as he was unable to stand for his dam, so it was decided he would be a bottle baby steer for safety reasons.

Beavis is the highlight of the farm now, everyone loves him, he is incredibly sweet and would make the perfect companion for a lonely bull or heifer. 

He is also halter trained and would make an excellent agritourism candidate for either a petting zoo or photography venture.

*Lazy Knoll Beavis has been retained to stay with us here on Lazy Knoll Farm as our Farm Mascot*

Rosie is our dun micro miniature Dexter heifer. Rosie came to us from Triple T Farm in Tennessee. Rosie was born September 2022 and is Legacy, PDCA & ADCA registered. Rosie was born with BD1 Dwarfism (or Chondro +) resulting in her smaller frame however she is definitely feisty enough to hold her own with her slightly larger fluffy siblings. Rosie was genetically tested and found to have A2/A2 milk. Rosie has a special place in our hearts and is often found with her "BFF" Phyllis.

Rosie recently gave birth to her first calf, a black High/Dex calf named Lazy Knoll Shadow in April 8, 2025. Shadow is currently seeking his own pasture for after he will be weaned October 8, 2025.

Lazy Knoll Shadow, is a black 50/50 Highland/Dexter steer born April 8, 2025 out of our three time registered chondro + dun Dexter cow Triple T Rosie #L04560TH-22HH and our previous AHCA herd sire Valley View Kid Kane #64,663.

We anticipate Lazy Knoll Shadow will be very small in stature as his dam Rosie is 36" at her back and Kid Kane is 41" at his back. We do not believe he is chondro + however he will be tested prior to weaning. 

*Lazy Knoll Shadow is currently nursing off of his mother and will not be available until he is weaned at approximately 6 months old on October 8, 2025.*

*Shadow may be reserved with a $500 deposit until weaning*
