Cute little dun heifer calf meets handsome black bull calf out behind the barn. Often raised for beef and always prized for their appearance, Scottish Highlands are picturesque cattle easily identified by their long forelocks, upwardly curved horns, and distinctive eyelashes.
Traditional colors are black, brindle, red, yellow, dun, silver and white.
Highlands are quiet, docile, and easily halter trained, making them ideal as pets or show animals. Thriving more than a thousand years in the rugged remote highlands of Scotland before coming to the United States, these cattle enjoy cold weather and snow without much in the way of shelter or feed supplements.
