How do highland cattle mate?

Highland cattle mate through natural breeding, where the bull and cow come together during the breeding season, typically in the late summer to early fall. The bull displays courtship behavior, which may include vocalizations and physical displays to attract the cow. Once the cow is receptive, mating occurs, and after a gestation period of about nine months, she will give birth to a calf. Breeders may also utilize artificial insemination to enhance genetics and control breeding.
