The NW Highland Cattle Association is now on facebook! We are now represented on facebook with a closed group, which means that the public can see our group and its members, but only members of our group can see our posts. In time, this site will replace the Members Forum as we attempt to keep up with the latest technology. If you don't have a facebook account you will find that it is easy (and free) to get started. Check it out!  8/23/2011 |

After a 20-year career Forest retired as master sergeant with many awards and honors including the Bronze Star, Good Conduct Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal.
