Highland Cows from Moorhouse Farm to Feature at the Royal Manx Agricultural Show 2026

The Royal Manx Agricultural Society is delighted to announce that the much-admired Highland cattle from Moorhouse Farm will be among the standout attractions at the Royal Manx Agricultural Show 2026.

Renowned for their striking appearance, with long sweeping horns and distinctive shaggy coats, Highland cows are one of the oldest and most iconic cattle breeds in the world. Their presence at this year’s show will offer visitors a unique opportunity to experience these remarkable animals up close.

Moorhouse Farm, a respected local farm committed to high standards of animal welfare and traditional farming practices, will be showcasing its Highland herd as part of the livestock displays. The cattle have become increasingly popular across the Isle of Man and their appearance is expected to draw strong interest from visitors of all ages.

“We are thrilled to welcome Moorhouse Farm and their Highland cattle to the 2026 Show. The Royal Manx Agricultural Show is all about celebrating the very best of Manx agriculture and these animals perfectly represent the heritage, quality and diversity of livestock on the Island.”

Carol Kennaugh, Royal Manx Agricultural Society, Secretary.

Visitors will have the chance to learn more about the breed’s history, characteristics and role in sustainable farming. 

The Royal Manx Agricultural Show continues to be a highlight of the Isle of Man’s calendar, showcasing excellence in agriculture, local food and produce, and rural life. The inclusion of Moorehouse Farm’s Highland cows reinforces the Show’s commitment to promoting both tradition and innovation within the farming sector.
