Meet Our Herd
Say hello to our Moo Crew—a charming mix of Highland and Highpark cattle with soft noses, big personalities, and plenty of fluff to go around. Each one is a little different: some love a good cuddle, others lean in for a brush or a treat, but all of them are raised with kindness, calm, and lots of love.
We’ve hand-selected our herd from gentle, well-loved bloodlines to create not just a strong breeding program, but a herd that feels like family. Whether they’re greeting guests, playing in the pasture, or getting ready for their next big moment, every cow here brings something special to Lucky Pennie.
Come meet the faces behind the fluff—you’ll understand what's so special.
MayBel
Breed: Highland
Height (Expected): 40–42 inches
Color: Silver or Dun (verdict is still out)
Born: April 16, 2025
Personality: Observant & Independent
MayBel is a thoughtful little Highland with a quiet charm all her own. She likes to take her time, hanging back to watch before joining in—but when she does, her curiosity and sass come shining through. She’s especially fond of chatting up the older cows and keeping a close eye on the pasture happenings. Don’t be fooled by her petite size—her tiny “mooo” packs a punch, and she’s already made it clear to Diesel who’s really running the show.
Charlotte
Breed: Highland
Height (Expected): 38–40 inches
Color: Red Wild
Born: May 13, 2025
Personality: Playful energy with lots of cautious curiosity
Charlotte is the tiniest member of the Moo Crew—and already a total scene-stealer. She came to the farm at just a week old and is settling in beautifully, full of playful energy, curiosity, and a strong love for her bottle. Based on the size of her parents Charlotte will stay delightfully petite, but her personality is already showing up in a big way. We’re soaking up every moment with her and can’t wait to watch her grow into the sweet little lady we know she’s meant to be.
Charolette
Amelia

Chondro status: Positive
Height (Expected): 38 inches
Color: Black
Born: January 2025
Personality: Cautious & Loyal
Amelia is a thoughtful little Highpark with a soft, steady presence that grows sweeter the longer you’re with her. The daughter of the well-known “Chip,” she carries a gentle confidence all her own. While she may take a moment to warm up, once she trusts you, get ready for affectionate licks and lingering nuzzles. Amelia is rarely far from her best friend Willow—their bond is as close as it is heartwarming, and together, they’re a picture of pasture-perfect friendship.

Breed: HighPark (Registered #231147)
Height (Expected): 38-40 inches
Color: Black
Born: April 23, 2025
Personality: Playful & People-Loving
Diesel is one to watch. This handsome Highpark calf brings top-tier genetics to the farm—he’s sired by Makin’ Bacon, son of the legendary Little Sancho—and he's already living up to the hype. Bottle-raised and brimming with personality, Diesel would rather hang with people than pasture mates any day. He’s playful, attention-loving, and has a way of charming his way right into your heart (and your lap, if you let him). With his strong lineage and even stronger fan club, Diesel is quickly becoming a standout here at Lucky Pennie Farms.
Maggie Moo
Breed: Highland
Height (Expected): 39–41 inches

Born: November 2023
Personality: Sweet & Easygoing
Maggie is a gentle soul with a whole lot of heart. This sweet Highland mini is known for her calm presence, her love of head scratches, and the way she leans into a good brushing like it’s the best part of her day (because it is). She’s the kind of girl who wins guests over without even trying—quiet, affectionate, and always ready for a treat. Maggie will be joining our breeding program in fall 2025, and we couldn’t be more excited to see her pass along that kind, steady temperament we’ve all fallen in love with.
Willow

Chondro status: Positive
Height (Expected): 38 inches
Color: Black
Born: November 2024

Willow is our official welcome committee—always the first to the gate, always ready for love. She’s quick to offer a nuzzle, faster to ask for neck scratches (chin up and all!), and if you sit down, don’t be surprised if she tries to climb right into your lap. Willow and her pasture bestie, Amelia, are two peas in a pod—you’ll almost never see one without the other. With her social sparkle and lovable charm, Willow brings sunshine wherever she goes.
Miss Goldie (Stella)
Breed: Highland
Height: 41 inches
Color: Dun
Born: June 2022
Personality: Inquisitive & Friendly
Miss Goldie (Stella) is the very definition of an “in-your-pocket” kind of cow—never more than a few steps away and always ready for attention. With her sunny personality (and sunny Florida roots), she fit right into our South Carolina herd like she’s always belonged. Goldie will be joining our breeding program this fall, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch her pass on that sweet, social spark that makes her such a joy to be around.
Ira
Breed: Highland
Height: 42 inches
Color: Brindle
Born: March 2023
Personality: Affectionate & Humble
Ira currently serves as our herd sire. Friendly and full of personality, he loves to greet visitors and will eagerly stretch his chin out for a good neck scratch.

Matilda is the matriarch of the herd, a calm and steady presence who’s taken young Missy Moo under her wing—rarely seen without her close by. Though a bit shy about being petted, Matilda is naturally curious and always aware of her surroundings. She patiently waits for her grain and, if you’re gentle, will let you sneak in a head rub while she eats. Matilda is also expecting the very first calf born at Lucky Pennie Farms, due in September 2025.
Hildie
Breed: Highland
Height: 45 inches
Color: Yellow
Born: Jan 2022
Personality: Cautious and Gentle
Hildie is the oldest member of the herd and carries herself with quiet confidence. Come December 2025, she’ll be welcoming her very first calf—how exciting! With a heart as big as her appetite for treats, she’ll trot right after you if you’ve got something tasty in hand. She’s a big fan of spa days (aka brushing sessions) and spends most of her time hanging out with her bestie, Hattie. You’ll often find the two of them relaxing under the shade trees or grazing side by side in the pasture.
Hattie

Whether exploring a new patch of clover or resting in the shade, Hattie is a calm and steady presence, always observing the world with thoughtful eyes.
