The Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic beef cattle also known as gentle giants. They have long wide horns and a long shaggy wooly coat.  The usual color is reddish brown, some are yellow, the remainder pale silver, black or brindle/dun.  These mystical and picturesque cattle have a reputation for hardiness that they came by naturally.  The Highland Cow is the oldest registered breed of cattle in the world!
 

Highland cows are raised primarily for their meat, which is growing in popularity due to being lower in cholesterol than other forms of beef. They are also raised for their milk, which is rich, creamy and very high in butterfat content used to make cheese, butter, and other dairy products.  Their hides are prized for their durability and are used to make high-quality leather goods.

The highlands are known for being a very docile animal, never showing any aggression and are very low stress to keep and manage. Within their herds they have a great understanding of their own social hierarchy and never fight. They also enjoy the company of humans, often approaching walkers seeking affection.
