Highland cattle
Posted by Michael (Wuppertal, Germany) on 24 November 2007 in Animal & Insect.
Highland cattle (also known as longhorn, Hairy Coo or Hielan Coo) are an ancient Scottish breed of beef cattle with long horns and shaggy pelts. A variation, the Highland Dairy Cow, is also native to Scotland. The breed was developed in the Highlands and western coastal regions of Scotland, and breeding stock has been exported to Australia and North America since the 1900s and is used as grazer in naturereserves in the Netherlands . The breed was developed from two sets of stock, one originally black, and the other reddish. Today, Highland cattle come in a wide variety of colours.
