Although records on Highland cattle first brought to this country from Scotland are rather obscure, due to the fact that there was no registry for them, we know there were small importations, made from time to time.

Highland cattle may have been brought to the East-Coast states in the 1920s. The earliest importation on record was made by S. F. Biddle, consisting of three carloads of heifers and bulls. They were unloaded at Moorcroft, Wyo., and trailed to the Powder River. Another importation was made by Walter Hill, into Montana, and it is descendants of this importation that have played an important part in our present-day cattle.

The first four bulls and the first 45 cows in the U. S. registry are made up of these cattle and were registered by Baxter Berry of Belvidere, S.D.
