Eye Candy

You might wonder why we keep these six-year-old twin steers, when they might have been beef years ago.

Rob and Roy bring awe and joy to so many with their ton-sized physiques and gentle-giant personalities. Rob's horn spread is 69", Roy's 70".

Although many do, we do not feed our breeding stock treats. We want the treat to be combing and communion with humans. Treats are like candy to cattle, and if you are in the pasture with them, they grow to expect, and demand, those treats. We expect our cattle to respect our personal space, and get close for combing or cuddling when we want them to.

Rob and Roy, our Highland House Farm Stay and Farm Tour ambassadors do get apples and carrots, but these are fed over the fence. Most of our other cows and calves are enjoyed in the field where guests and visitors can comb, kiss, and cuddle to their heart's content.

Rob and Roy are Shat Acres Raisin Pie's first of three sets of twins, the newest being her 2025 twins William and Wallace.
