Home to Highland Cattle

Inspired by heritage, raised with care in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges

With their long horns, shaggy coats and gentle nature, Highland cattle are a resilient heritage breed—right at home among the shifting mists, cool breezes, and rugged hills of the Macedon Ranges

At Cadzow Croft, these Highlands inspire everything we do — from breeding and raising healthy cattle to producing premium hand-finished hides

Welcome to Cadzow Croft

Breeders of Highland Cattle in Victoria’s Central Highlands

Nestled near Trentham on rich volcanic soil, Cadzow Croft is a small family farm surrounded by native bush and breathtaking views of the Campaspe Valley and Mount Macedon.

Our land is alive with spring-fed dams, wetlands, and local wildlife — from frogs and fish to wallabies and kookaburras. It’s a peaceful sanctuary and the perfect home for our Highland cattle to graze, grow, and raise their young naturally.

From this land we raise a small fold of heritage-bred Highland cattle, all with care for the environment and respect for the breed’s Scottish roots.
