Horned by a Highland!

[@debihalsey2247]

I like that you try to help people learn about your cattle and safety tips. Thank you for sharing your herd and knowledge.

[@Dovejep]

The music you put on here, when they came running around the corner for cubes, is PERFECT!! lol

Good to learn about these Highlands, new subscriber that came over from Adler Farm Watching from St. Louis.

[@donnareis6862]

Watching from Kenner Louisiana love the coos!

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey y'all, I am glad you know how to stay safe and helping others learn. Lots of good info. take care bye for now

[@SoFloSteve]

Hi Rhett, really enjoy the Highlands. The are so unique in looks and personality.

[@vtvargo]

Do you need a professional calf sitter? I would gladly spend the day just getting to know each baby 💜🌸💜…they are so adorable!

[@grasperoohla576]

I am very happy to find your channel. Thanks

[@patjenkins3402]

We teach our Highlands to respect our personal distance when they are young. We don't tolerate any horn waving/pushing. Cows respect the dominant member and YOU must be the dominant one..always!

[@mrs.Italy.D]

Well that’s just awesome. Maybe you should start a KZbin channel

[@rexcorvorum2209]

you should make a video demonstrating how you do this

[@tonyrichardson5955]

I really enjoy these videos!

[@4thoughtsandponders]

They are so smart. I fed cows with my dad growing up. Loved it.

[@hannahhenderson6399]

I love watching you and the cows. I just bought a highland bull calf and heifer calf. They're so fun to learn about. Keep up the good content! ! 😊

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Thats awesome, congrats on the calves! They're super awesome cows to raise. I'm glad you like my videos, thanks for watching!

Horses are the same way. I remember watching a new girl, at the boarding stable where I kept my horse, take a couple of carrots with her out into the field to catch and halter up her horse for a lesson. She was VERY green, if you know what I mean, and there she was, out there with half a dozen big horses crowding all around her, after those carrots! She was totally surrounded. The owner of the stable, and our trainer then went out to get her and the horse....I remember Barbara simply asking her if she learned anything! Horses may not have horns, but they are also dangerous if you don't learn to pay attention to their behavior cues and stay aware of your surroundings!

[@gretaferebee3179]

I know nothing about this beautiful breed but I do know a little about being a teenager riding on horseback in the cow pasture. Now I’m an old lady but in the 1970’s I was a young teen with a small cow pony. My horse had been broken riding and working in the cows do she was absolutely comfortable cutting the cows. I was never hurt, I was a good rider and stayed on her back no matter how fast or crazy things got. I was told at LEAST 3 times but I think it might have been more than that to stop riding in the cow pasture. That I might have been running the fat, that means money, off the herd. So just a comment for those with youngsters that there is some trouble that could be gotten into you hsve not yet imagined. And by the by, the young baby bulls were especially fun to cut and herd, because they are totally full of spunk and attitude so could create some serious problems for kids trying to ride near them.

Penny wanted you to feed her more treats and faster so she made you dump the bucket for her. Thankfully, it didn't appear you were injured. I don't think injury was her goal in this case.

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Ya she definitely wants more treats. I don't think she is trying to hurt me on purpose, but accidents can certainly happen

[@lynn6799]

@@100AcreWoodHighlands yes they can, but good reason to be watchful. I think she might be a little spoiled but I can't imagine not spoiling them at least a little.

[@curly-hairedcountrygal1275]

Is it necessary to feed cows cubes? Can they just graze?

[@VaxtorT]

I've been nearly trapped in the midst of a herd of cows that seemed to purposely surround and attempt to press their weight into me from all sides nearly suffocating and causing serious harm. A herd mentality really seemed to be at work as this was taking place......and this was all performed rather nonchalantly. I've also had cows try to pin me between them and the side of their stall. This I experienced when I was a teenager and doing chores after school. I quickly learned not to put myself in that situation.

[@n.s.5001]

That's scary. I thought they had a pretty nice temperament

[@RidgeLife]

Whatr age/weight do you send off a highland for slaughter? What is the typical age you sell them?

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Highlands grow slowly compared to some other breeds. I would say probably 18 months to 2 years would probably be about the right age

[@samueladams1775]

Unless you plan on showing the cows and or bulls it is a good idea to pull their horns. It reduces risk of injury. Accidents happen even with lovable highland coos.

[@jwhiskey242]

Cant cows be dehorned anymore? I know it was common on dairy farms when I was kid.

[@huskytours-cz]

why not poll the cattle when they are young? I understand the horns are part of their charm and look, but for safety it would make sense.

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Thats a good point. With registered highlands if you plan on showing them they can't be polled. I just take extra time and care with them when handling

100% agree that cows can have attitude. Casing point, my ex wife.

[@BLavenderBell]

Why can't you d horn them? They do other breeds, such as herefords Angus Etc. Unless they need him for predators I think I would remove their horns at Birth or saw them off and cap them. I can't think of a reason for leaving the horns if you have small children and other animals that they could accidentally heard or on purpose hurt. Even then you have to watch him because they're big animals especially when you're feeding America branding or marking or checking them four health problems are excetera.

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Sure they could be dehorned when theyre little. But that kind of goes against the purpose of raising this type of cow. If we wanted a cow without horns we would raise something else.

[@BLavenderBell]

@lindowan123 I like Highland cattle myself, and no one, suggested that they were there for picking asses, or your noses! I'm sure every animal who has horns have them for a reason, I dunno that all animals can live without their horns and stay in very good shape, I still suggest at least capping the horns so they can do less damage to each other and people and children that they are around! Before I in this I would like to say hello Scotland, I will make sure I watch your videos and thank you for responding

[@patjenkins3402]

We have had Highlands for 25 years and horns are not an issue. Any large animal can cause harm if frightened.

[@cloudycider]

Why do you keep calling them Scattish Highland cows?

[@mrs.Italy.D]

That’s the name of the breed 🐮
