Cattle draw people together

KING FERRY - In the rugged terrain of northern Scotland, Highland Cattle find their native land, but now the growing cattle population roam many areas of the United States, including the East Coast.

More than 50 Highland Cattle owners and breeders from the United States and Canada sat beneath the chandeliers hung from the ceiling of one of the several red barns at Ledyard Farms, in King Ferry, Saturday.

People traveling from Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, among other states, shared one thing in common, a membership in The Northeast Highland Cattle Association.
