“We bought two mini Highlands for our kids’ 4-H project, and WOW—Rolling Thunder made it effortless! The calves arrived calm, healthy, and already halter-trained. Their team answered every nervous ‘first-time rancher’ question we had, even helping us find a local vet. A year later, Bella and Duke are the stars of the county fair. 10/10!”
“I run a small hobby farm and wanted low-maintenance cattle for brush clearing. Rolling Thunder’s micro Highlands were a game-changer! They shipped my bull, Thor, to Oregon with zero stress. The care kit included organic feed samples and a grazing guide. Thor’s hardy, friendly, and keeps my pastures pristine. Best investment ever!”
“I was skeptical about buying livestock online, but Rolling Thunder’s transparency won me over. We did a virtual tour to meet our calf, Luna, and got her health records upfront. Shipping to Florida was smooth, and their 24/7 support saved us when Luna had a minor tummy ache (turns out she just ate too many mangoes!). Five stars!”
“Our mini Highland, Moose, is the gentlest ‘pet’ our suburban homestead could ask for. The ranch helped us navigate zoning laws for backyard livestock, and Moose’s small size is perfect. Our kids adore him—he even joins them on walks! The lifetime support guarantee? Lifesaver. We’re already planning to adopt a friend for him next year!”
At Rolling Thunder Ranch, we believe adopting a mini Highland should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Here’s how we ensure a seamless experience from start to finish:
