I have always been enthralled by the long haired cows in the Scottish Highlands
And this was the highlight of my trip to Scotland
Do you know they love carrots, They come running for them
Long-haired Highland cattle, long-haired Scottish cattle, North Highland cattle, Scottish cattle, Scottish Highland cattle, and West Highland cattle, are a Scottish breed of cattle descended from the Black Kyloe.
They have long horns and long, wavy, woolly coats that are coloured red, ginger, black, dun, yellow, white, grey, "silver" (white but with a black nose and ears), or tan, and they also may be brindled.
Highlands are raised primarily for their meat.
They originated in the Highlands and Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and were first mentioned in the 6th century AD.
The first herd book described two distinct types of highland cattle but crossbreeding between the two has brought about only one extant, registered type.
