7 Interesting Facts About Cows

Highland cattle are docile and sociable

The Highland cow is a rustic Scottish cattle breed. This breed originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Scottish Outer Hebrides islands. They have a long shaggy coat and long horns (bulls can weigh up to 800 kg or 1,800 lbs and cows up to 500 kg or 1,100 lbs). The Highland cow is generally gentle and kind, though moms with calves can be extremely protective of their offspring.
