Use of a ½ score is acceptable when the animal is described by two consecutive rating descriptions in the UCDS. In this case a blended rating is used to best portray the personality of the cow. Some cows may fall into 2 or more of the rating categories. Rating an animal may not be as simple as applying a single description. UCDS focuses solely on the temperament of the cattle. While still in use, BreedPlan is expanded into a broader scope of cattle genetics. BreedPlan was developed for the commercial Angus cattle industry and has been used with much success for decades. In 2019 we created and implemented this system based on a program formerly known as BreedPlan. The Universal Cattle Docility Scale or “UCDS” was created based on the need to have a uniform rating system to portray the docility of the cattle being traded.

Currently we sell all of our mini Scottish Highland cattle, and Valais Sheep in a private (not open to other consignors) online auction. Her first calf was a 78 pound bull.Looking for a Mini Scottish Highland or a Valais Blacknose S heep? We've got you!! I'm using shorthorn but next year I'm going to breed her to either a brangus or gelbvieh or a Maine. I would go for something bigger than an Angus. I've been around other highlands that don't have her volume. She is not very tall but has good length and great depth. I am going to keep using her as a nurse cow as she has so much milk. Now she is letting whatever calf wants to steal can. The steer went away so for a couple if months she was just nursing the heifer.
She kept nursing her steer but she kicked the brangus bull calf off. Started licking her like she had just birthed her. She saw that baby coming and pushed everybody out of the way to get to her. We brought home an Angus Brangus 3 day old heifer that we planned to put on a jersey. She did have the misfortune that her calf caught a bug at 6 days old and did not respond to treatment and died in 24 hours. Positives-easy keeper, gets along in a group. She could get pissy by the end of the day so not a good one for showmanship. She does have much shorter hair in the summer than in the winter. The negatives are that in the heat she likes to stand in the shade in a pool of water as she gets hot. I have 2 year old highland shorthorn hairy heifer in central Oklahoma.
