About Highland Cows
Highland cows, also known as Highland cattle, are a Scottish breed that’s hard to miss. With their long, shaggy coats and impressive horns, these cows look like they’ve stepped out of a storybook.
I’ve always been drawn to their distinctive appearance. Their hair isn’t just for show – it’s a double coat that keeps them warm in the harsh Scottish winters. The outer layer is oily and long, while the inner layer is downy and soft.
These cows come in various colors, from red and black to yellow and silver. Their coats can even change color with the seasons, adding to their charm.
Highland cows are known for their gentle nature, despite their imposing looks. They’re incredibly hardy animals, able to thrive in rough terrain and harsh weather conditions. This adaptability is one of the reasons they’ve been exported to many countries around the world.
One of the most endearing features of Highland cows is their long fringe of hair that often covers their eyes. This ‘dossan’ isn’t just cute – it helps protect their eyes from insects and harsh weather.
Highland cattle are also known for their intelligence. They’re quick learners and have good memories, which makes them easier to handle than some other breeds.
These cows are more than just pretty faces. They’re raised for their high-quality, lean beef, which is prized by food enthusiasts. Their milk is also used to make cheese and other dairy products.
Highland cows have a long history, with the first herd book established in 1885. They’re believed to have been around since the 6th century, making them one of the oldest registered cattle breeds.
In their native Scotland, Highland cows play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem. Their grazing habits help maintain the diversity of plant life in their habitats.
These unique cows have captured the hearts of many, becoming a symbol of Scotland and appearing on postcards, souvenirs, and even in popular culture. Their distinctive look and gentle nature make them popular subjects for artists and photographers.
I find Highland cows fascinating not just for their looks, but for their rich history and the important role they play in their native land. They’re a testament to nature’s diversity and adaptability.
Coloring pages of Highland cows offer a great opportunity to appreciate these magnificent animals. As you color in their shaggy coats and long horns, you can imagine them roaming the Scottish Highlands, a vital part of the landscape and culture.
