Larimar was awarded Supreme Exhibit at the 2024 Australian Highland Cattle Society National Show, placing him among the leading Highland cattle in Australia.
Bred by Amrabull Park Heritage Breeds, Larimar is a powerful, well-balanced bull combining excellent structure, depth, muscle, and strong Highland breed character. He carries an impressive horn set and dossan and is structurally correct, functional, and free moving.
USA judge Jacob Larson described Larimar as an “eye-catching, free-moving, easy-fleshing and structurally sound specimen of the breed.”
Larimar contributes valuable international genetics to the Australian Highland gene pool. He is sired by one of the leading bulls in the United States, while his dam line traces to respected American and Canadian bloodlines which have been highly succesful within Australia.
Importantly, Larimar is not simply a show bull within our program - he is our current herd sire and has been used extensively throughout the Koolah Creek breeding program, including within our embryo programs and donor flushes. His influence has become a significant part of the direction of our herd, consistently producing calves with strong Highland character, excellent temperaments, structural soundness, and impressive growth and substance.
Larimar consistently produce functional, high-quality Highland cattle. His calves are proving to be quiet-natured, structurally correct, and highly appealing cattle with excellent coat, bone, and breed type.
Just as importantly, Larimar himself possesses an exceptional temperament and is a calm, sensible and highly manageable bull - traits we place enormous value on within our breeding program.
Larimar presents an exciting opportunity to introduce proven show-ring success, structural strength, maternal reliability, international genetics, and true Highland character into your breeding program.

Introductory pre-order price: $80 + GST per straw
Straws expected late May 2026
Alasdair represents the direction of the Koolah Creek breeding program, combining true Highland type with structural correctness, balance, and an outtanding temperament.
A small to moderate framed, compact bull, Alasdair offers an appealing combination of thickness, functionality, and traditional Highland character. He is expected to produce small, vigorous calves suitable for cows of all frame sizes, making him an exciting and versatile breeding option for a wide range of programs.
He is a very complete young bull with excellent feet (drawing compliments from judges though they have never been trimmed!), a classic Highland head, and masses of long, soft coat. His pedigree combines respected Ennerdale and Durness bloodlines. His dam comes from one of our most proven and consistent foundation cow families. Now in her teens, his dam remains one of the most impressive and functional cows, and she she continues to demonstrate the traits we value most in Highland females - excellent fertility, consistent mothering ability, longevity, and reliable unassisted calving. Alasdair strongly reflects these maternal strengths.
Alasdair has achieved exceptional success in the show ring from a young age. At just 13.5 months of age, he was awarded Grand Champion Highland Bull and Junior Champion Highland Bull at the 2025 Royal Queensland Show (Ekka). He followed this with Grand Champion Highland Bull and Senior Champion Highland Bull at the 2026 Canberra Royal Show, along with 3rd place in the Small and Rare Breeds Interbreed Bull class.
More recently, Alasdair was awarded Reserve Champion Bull – Other Recognised Breeds at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, before going on to achieve Senior Champion Bull, Grand Champion Bull, and Supreme Exhibit at the 2026 Bathurst Royal Show Highland Feature.
With a combination of phenotype, temperament, structure, maternal strength, and proven performance, Alasdair offers an exciting opportunity to introduce consistency, correctness, and traditional Highland breed character to your breeding program.
