- Cover photo description:
- Highland cows, also known as Highland cattle or coos in Scots, are a distinctive breed of cattle primarily found in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Isles of Scotland. They are known for their long, shaggy coats, which help protect them from the harsh weather conditions of the Highlands.Here are some key features of Highland cows:Appearance: Highland cows have long, wavy coats that come in a variety of colors, including red, black, dun, and yellow. Their coats are often thick and shaggy, especially during colder months, and they have long, distinctive horns that curve upwards.Adaptability: Highland cows are well adapted to living in rugged and often harsh environments. Their thick coats provide insulation against cold temperatures and wet weather, and their hardy nature allows them to graze in areas where other cattle breeds might struggle.Temperament: Highland cattle are generally known for their docile and gentle temperament. They are often described as calm and easygoing, making them popular among farmers and hobbyists alike.Utility: While Highland cows are primarily raised for beef production, they are also sometimes kept for their milk, which is known for its high butterfat content and is used to make cheese and other dairy products.Conservation: Highland cattle play a role in conservation grazing, where they are used to manage and maintain landscapes of ecological importance. Their grazing habits help promote biodiversity and preserve habitats for various plant and animal species.Highland cows are also popular as a symbol of Scotland and are often featured in tourism promotions and merchandise representing Scottish culture and heritage.
