QUALITY HIGHLAND BEEF PROGRAM (QHBP)

In their native Scotland, the fundamental purpose of Highland cattle throughout the past seven centuries has been that of a beef producing animal. However, in recent years, Highlands have maintained their popularity primarily due to their unique looks and distinctive personalities. Still, the versatility of Highland cattle has been well-known by their breeders for years. Their adaptability to adverse grazing conditions has made them an attractive beef animal to raise in harsh environments around the world.

Omni Farm Highland Cattle certifies that any beef marketed by us under the Quality Highland Beef Program (QHBP) has been raised and finished in accordance with the recommendations and guidelines provided by the American Highland Cattle Association and as outlined below. Omni Farm Highland Cattle maintains full responsibility for the product and for the interpretation and application of the Association’s recommendations.

1. The animals are purebred Highland steers, heifers or bulls.

2. The animals have been raised and handled in a humane manner.

3. No added hormones, anabolic steroids or sub-therapeutic feed antibiotics have been applied/fed to the animals.

4. The animals will be slaughtered between 14 and 36 months of age, except for bulls whose maximum age is 24 months.

5. The minimum live weight requirement is 900 pounds and the minimum carcass weight is 450 pounds.

6. The carcasses will hang a minimum of 14 days, depending on backfat.

7. Finishing during the final 90 days should be such that each animal gains at least 1.5 pounds per day.
