Highland cows are a hardy, long-haired Scottish breed known for their distinctive shaggy coats and sweeping horns. Bred to thrive in cold, rugged terrain, they tolerate wind, rain, and snow better than most cattle. Their double coat — a soft underlayer and long, water-shedding outer hair — provides insulation while their calm, docile temperament makes them easy to handle. Renowned for flavorful, lean beef and low-maintenance grazing habits, Highland cattle are popular for conservation grazing, small farms, and as iconic pasture animals that add rustic charm to landscapes.
