Humanely Raised
Laz E Cattle Co. produces pasture-raised, grass- or grain-finished Quality Highland and Heritage breed beef. Our Heritage Cattle are humanely raised and processed, with the goal of providing a stress-free environment for our cattle. They are grass-fed, rotationally grazed in open pastures and not in a feedlot. Our grass-finished cattle are fed no grain within the USDA “grass-fed” standard. We do not utilize growth hormones, stimulants, or antibiotic feed. Our grain-finished cattle enjoy feed for approximately 45 days.

Highland Heritage Breed
The Highland breed has lived for centuries in the rugged, remote Scottish Highlands. The extremely harsh conditions created a process of natural selection, where only the fittest and most adaptable animals survived to carry on the breed. Originally, there were two distinct classes: the slightly smaller and usually black Kyloe, whose primary domain was the islands off the west coast of northern Scotland. The other was a larger animal, generally reddish in color, whose territory was the remote Highlands of Scotland. Today both of these strains are regarded as one breed – Highland. In addition to red and black, yellow, dun, white, brindle and silver are also considered traditional colors. This “Grande Old Breed” can be traced to the first herd book published in 1885 by the Highland Cattle Society in Scotland. Archaeological evidence of the Highland breed goes back to the sixth century, with written records existing from the twelfth century.
