Description
The Scottish Highland cattle are a Scottish breed. They have long horns and long wavy coats that can be black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver or dun. They are raised primarily for their meat and are an ancient breed dating back to 6th century AD. They are from the Scottish Highlands and Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland. The first herd book described two distinct types of Highland cattle but, due to crossbreeding between the two, only one type now exists and is registered. They have since been exported worldwide.
They were bred to withstand the conditions in the Scottish Highlands and are therefore a hardy breed. Their long hair gives them the ability to handle the harsh winters of the Moors. Bulls can weigh up to 1,800 pounds and cows up to 1,100 pounds. Their milk has a very high butterfat content, and their meat is of the highest quality and is lower in cholesterol than other varieties of beef.
