Our Mini Highland Bulls

42” Miniature Dun Tipped Highpark Bull

Frozen Tundra

Frozen Tundra is non-chondro. He’s nearly full highland and puts loads of hair on his tiny little calves. About 50% of his calves have been tipped so far and the rest were solid. He checks all the boxes on conformation and temperament.

36” Silver Chondro Positive Miniature Highland Bull

MMC Mr. Boombastic

Boomer is one of the most striking bulls we’ve ever seen. He’s the first retained son of Ghostface Gunner, and out of Silver Shimmer. Boomer combines the very best of both parents. We plan to breed him for Spring 2027 calves.

33” White Chondro Positive Miniature Highland Bull

MMC Phantom

Phantom is full brother to Mr. Boombastic and is proving to be every bit as exceptional in conformation, hair and temperament. The only difference we see in these two right now is their color.

32” White Chondro Positive Miniature Highland Bull

MMC Chewbacca

Chewbacca is half brother to Mr. Boombastic and Phantom. He’s out of Ghostface Gunner and Lorelei. The hair and bone structure on this guy are absolutely fantastic.

38” White Chondro Positive Miniature Highland Bull

Ghostface Gunner

Gunner is the bull who started it all for our farm. While he’s mostly retired these days, he’s responsible for giving us Mr. Boombastic, Phantom, and Chewbacca — the next generation of our breeding program. Gunner will spend the rest of his life here being spoiled and well loved. He is, and always will be, a very special bull to us.
