Highland breeding generates several births each year. Among the calves, some young males will have certain desired characteristics thus meeting the conformation criteria. These young bulls will be kept for reproduction and resale. The other males will be confined to pastures reserved for them and will be sent to the slaughterhouse 14 to 18 months later. As for the young females, they will either be sold to other producers or will join the breeding herd.

Producers of registered pure-bred Highland cattle all have a specific name for their herd as well as unique tattoo letters. The name of our herd is Cornemuse ( bagpipes in French but also a mix of the French word Corne meaning Horn and muse the Mythological Muses) and the tattoo letters of the farm are CNM.

In many countries, Highland breeders have formed associations to promote Highland cattle breeding and the Highland breed, encourage and oversee training, promote the implementation and the maintenance of quality standards as well as help start new breeding farms. The Borealis farm endorses these objectives and is a member of the Association québécoise des éleveurs de bovins Highland, The Canadian Highland Cattle Society and the Highland Cattle Society (Scotland).

Borealis Farm has received in May 2006 its Organic certification for its grass, and pastures.
