DSD Loretta | Registered Red Highland Cow | Proven Young Mother **Dalkena Highlands | Newport, Washington** We're excited to offer DSD Loretta, a beautiful registered red Highland female with strong Pacific Northwest breeding roots and a wonderful start to her productive years! Born April 6, 2023, Loretta was bred by Elk Creek Ranch Highlanders right here in Newport, Washington. She is a quiet, independent female who has already demonstrated one of the most important qualities we look for in our breeding program: excellent maternal instincts. Loretta welcomed her first calf in 2026 and has been an attentive, devoted mother. For someone looking to add a young, proven female to their breeding fold, she offers an exciting opportunity. **Her pedigree is equally appealing.** Loretta is sired by **RAM Fat's Domino (D), AHCA #58,286**, whose lineage includes Oscar of Swalander, McCloud of Corral Creek, RAM Jazz, and RAM Cavin. Her dam is **BEM Jeraldine (AI,PV,D), AHCA #61,927**, bringing additional genetics through GOF Ralph 21R, GOF Marshall 16M, BEM Caramel, EZ Acres Kyle, and CHW Tara of Covington Highlands. This combination of RAM, Swalander, GOF, and BEM bloodlines offers documented ancestry from established Highland breeding programs. Currently exposed to Skye High Monolith (D), AHCA #66,893, our registered red Highland bull from Skye High Farms in Michigan. Monolith brings established Skye High genetics through Gibraltar, Cornerstone, and Fantasia. Loretta successfully raised her first calf in 2026 and is now being offered with potential for another breeding season. Pregnancy has not been confirmed or guaranteed. Loretta has a naturally quiet, reserved temperament and is most comfortable in a pasture-based environment. She's a wonderful mother and would be well suited to an experienced Highland breeder looking for a productive female rather than a pet. As Dalkena Highlands continues refining our fold to focus on beef production, temperament, and carefully selected genetics, we're offering several quality registered females to new homes. **Fully AHCA registered — #66,710. Registration available for transfer.** Located in Newport, Washington. Hauling assistance may be available. Serious inquiries welcome!
