About Us
The Victorian Highland Breeders Group was set up by the Australian Highland Cattle Society to bring together all Highland cattle breeders in Victoria, both members of the national body and non-members. The group organises field days, shows and other events that allow breeders to get together and learn more about our breed and socialise with like-minded Highland enthusiasts. If you are an owner or breeder of Highland cattle in Victoria, or you don’t own Highlands but just love the breed, consider joining the VHBG. You may follow us on facebook or subscribe to receive email updates and we’ll let you know about upcoming Highland Cattle related events in Victoria.
Upcoming Events
The Victorian Highland Breeders Group organises the annual Victorian State Show, we organise and host the Australian Highland Cattle Society National Highland Show on a triennial basis, rotating with South Australia, and New South Wales/Queensland, as well as other shows on an occasional basis. We also organise field days and training events which may be open to non-members. See what’s up next.
