About Luckley' Little Highlands...
Luckley’s Little Highlands is a labor of love, run by husband and wife team Alyssa and James Luckley-Sharkey. With lifelong roots in the equine and livestock world, our passion for animals runs deep so naturally, we found ourselves drawn to the charm and character of mini Highland cattle.
Our journey into breeding mini Highlands specifically was inspired by James’s proud heritage and Alyssa’s lifelong love of all things adorable. Together, we’re building a program focused on quality, guided by passion, and inspired by big dreams one tiny moo at a time.
At Luckley’s Little Highlands, quality always comes first. By keeping our fold small, we’re able to give each calf the individual attention, affection, and hands-on training it deserves.
We carefully select top-tier bulls to pair with our cows, ensuring every calf we raise is not only beautiful, but structurally sound, friendly, and perfectly suited for life as a cherished family companion.
Our Breeding & Sourcing Philosophy...
Our goal is to source and produce exceptional miniature Highland calves with sound structure, striking beauty, and gentle, family-friendly temperaments. To help us achieve this, we use artificial insemination with top-quality bulls from leading bloodlines, along with carefully selected embryo transfer programs, ensuring that only the very best pairings contribute to the next generation.
We are an intentionally small, hands-on operation, which allows us to give each animal the care, attention, and love they deserve. Because of this, and the high demand for these incredible cattle, we may not always have exactly what every buyer is looking for readily available. That’s why we’ve built close relationships with a trusted network of like-minded breeders in Texas who share our same values, ethics, and deep compassion for their animals. Through these partnerships, we’re able to source exceptional livestock that meets our standards when needed.
All of the mini Highland cattle coming from Luckley personally are well-started on the halter, vaccinated, and dewormed for a healthy and seamless transition into their new homes. Each animal also comes with a special “Luckley Care Package,” because when you choose a Luckley Mini Highland, you’re not just getting a beautiful pet, you’re becoming part of our Luckley family.
We’re proud to offer a beautiful variety within our program and extended network, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with what you’re looking for. If we don’t currently have it available, we’re more than happy to help you find the perfect fit.
