Ballybrook Farm is a family run and owned Highland Cattle Fold. Where we offer Highland Cow Experiences (private farm tours) as a way of sharing our story, as well as allowing individuals close-up, personal interactions with all of our animals. We enjoy being able to give people some insight into the day to day activities of our small working farm.
Now, along with their fluffy ears and big horns, Highland Cows are renowned for having amazing temperaments and people-loving personalities. This makes them the perfect candidates for all of the experiences that we provide, such as; Highland Cow Experiences (private farm tours), Paint, Pat & Pinot (highland cow themed paint & sip), Accommodation (a night away surrounded by nature) and for those who would really like to cherish some ever-lasting memories; Photo Sessions with our photographer (Foxtail Photography).
Our most asked question: Do you have any calves? Yes. Being that we are a fully operational breeding property, we always have a variety of fluffy Highland Calves all year around.
