Scottish Highlander Cattle

Scottish Highlander Cattle
Scottish Highlander Cattle
Scottish Highlanders are among the most picturesque and beautiful looking of all the cattle breeds. The Highlands are distinguished by their unique shaggy coats of waved hair and a striking set of elegant horns. Records of Highland Cattle go as far back as the 12th century! There's archeological evidence of them from the 6th century. Highlands are the oldest known breed of cattle. Despite their long horns and unusual look, these unique animals are gentle and have excellent mothering traits.

  Nice, Dolores. Where did you shoot these? I know of a bunch in New Hampshire near my mother-in-law's house but you don't see them too often. Great job.

  Thank you,Colette! I appreciate your post!

Thank you, Joy! You have a shot of one of these?? Awesome! I love these Highlanders!

Thank you so much, Duane! Much obliged to you!

THank you so much, Shirley! I fell in love with these!

Hi Marcie..Thank you ...and you're welcome. I didn't realize the historical significance of these creatures either!

Thank you, DArren...I was very lucky to have found them in wildflowers! The owners were not happy when I asked to photograph them. Apparently, they are inundated with requests!

Hi Jeff! Thank you! THey are indeed a beautiful animal!

Hi Rob! THank you! I'm delighted I could pass along some new knowledge. Now I'm very interested in this cattle!

Thank you, Mette! I appreciate your pleasant response and support!

Hi Judy! I did shoot these in NH but the lady did not welcome photographers at all! She said she gets many requests (almost daily..I didn't know!) so I offered to print her an 8x10 as compensation for the privilege of shooting her animals but have not heard from her.

Many thank you's Marie! I appreciate it!
