History
An interest in Highlanders began in 1983 with the purchase of three Highland cows to grace the headlands of Cim Farm on the Llyn Peninsula, North Wales. These majestic animals thrived on the harsh conditions offered at Cim Farm and became a feature of the working farm. In 1987 it was decided to pursue pedigree status and joined the Society, registering Cim Fold (pronounced Kim) in the name of Joy Griffiths.

Community
In 1988 the local primary school, Whittington Church of England, adopted and named a heifer calf sired by Rushmore Bracken, the dam Morag 6th of Ormsary. The chosen name was Eira Plentyn which means 'Snow Child' in welsh.

Grazing Initiatives
In 1999 and subsequent following years, Highlander's from Cim fold were used to assist English Nature by grazing an area called Castlefields, at a Shropshire Nature Reserve. The cattle were used in the project to reintroduce a very rare plant, Damasonium alisma which only lives in 3 other sites in Britain.

SSSI's  areas surrounding the Oswestry area  have also been grazed by the cattle, but unfortunately due to gaining an elite Health Status, animals from the Fold cannot graze areas with access to open water.

Showing
In 1994 Cim Fold made their showing debut at the Shropshire and West Midlands Show, taking a 2nd place rosette. Over the last 13 year's we have enjoyed showing Cim Fold bloodlines with numerous successes, including 5 breed championships with Jock 2nd of Cim in 1999.
