Historical Note

The American Scotch Highland Breeders’ Association was founded on August 30, 1948. In 1992 the organization changed its name to the American Highland Cattle Association (AHCA). The AHCA is charged with maintaining the breed registry of American Highland cattle, preserving the integrity of the breed, and assisting its member in creating value for their animals. The official publication of the AHCA was “The Fold” until 1975, at which time it was replaced by “The Bagpipe.”
