Highland Coos

Discover the ancient breed that has captured hearts for centuries

Highland cattle, with their iconic long, shaggy coats and distinctive horns, are one of Scotland’s most recognizable and beloved breeds. These magnificent animals have roamed the rugged Scottish Highlands for over a thousand years, developing remarkable adaptations that make them truly extraordinary.

Known for their docile temperament and striking appearance, Highland cows are distinguished by their double-layered coat that protects them from harsh weather conditions. Their outer coat of long, coarse hair shields them from rain and wind, while their soft, downy undercoat provides insulation against cold temperatures.

Acres, our Highland cows live freely in pastures where they graze naturally, contributing to the ecosystem while providing visitors with an authentic glimpse into traditional farming practices.
