I think they're actually considered a tri-purpose breed. Meat, milk, and fiber. Their fur was often spun into textiles and it supposed to be very warm.

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Thats cool I didn't know about the use of their hair

[@honeycomb.n.cattle3463]

I know the birds and squirrels around my place are aware of that. We see some interesting nests after the cattle shed.

[@cobaltbleu3046]

I’m usually afraid of cows but these cows are so adorable!!

[@4nik8]

Afraid of cows? They're 1 million percent docile. Pet them, talk to them, play fetch with them. They're like a giant hooved dog

[@lindanorris2455]

cows are sooooooooooooooo gentle for the most part!

[@annmac9478]

The first thing that comes to my mind when I see these cows of yours, I just want to HUG, KISS and SQUEEZE each one of them!🥰🤗😂 I'm so impressed how you go to your desk job, which I'm sure can be very stressful at times, and then come home to want to care for these beautiful animals!

Enjoyed the Video and History & Color Information. I've been raising Highland and Belted Galloway cattle in Upstate New York since 2006 starting with 3 females and maxed one Summer at 63. The Breed is full of Characters and Colors all are unique in some way. They are TOUGH & Climbers too! Great narration and camera work!

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Wow 63, thats a pretty good fold of them. I got to drive through some of upstate NY a few years ago. Very pretty area

[@lindatimmons3675]

Coming from the Scottish Highlands that would possibly be a natural instinct. I hope they don't become extinct in the Highlands. But I've never been to Scotland. First time I had even seen this type was in the show Outlander, the cattle that broke the prison door down. I had to research what kind of cattle they were. The Belted Galloway are they the ones that are Black with white " circle around their shoulders.

[@honeycomb.n.cattle3463]

I don't milk ours, but have checked to make sure one of our cows was producing. She was loose, and let me get a few tugs in before she walked away. She was producing.

[@katelynhill6187]

So beautiful. What a relaxing video to watch out on the back swing. Here’s a question for you. You seem to breed these with the intension for beef. Why do you name them? Is that any more difficult for you? Or do people usually name their beef cattle? Or do you strictly breed them to sell calf’s to other homesteaders?

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Great question, we do raise some for beef. Those that are for beef we do not name, the ones that have names are intended to keep and breed. Although the majority of our calves go to hobby farms to be raised for pleasure, not for beef.

My wife and I would love to have highland, she wants a little one and watch it grow. Only 1 problem, we don't have a place to have one. Little big to have it in the house like a dog/cat. Not sure how the neighborhood would appreciate that. Kids would I'm sure. I used to work on a farm. Hogs, cows, chicken,etc.

[@lindatimmons3675]

I live in the Texas Panhandle area and our summers get into the 3 digits a lot. And we are so dry most of the time. We get very little rain or moisture. I don't knowbof anyone here in the Tx.panhabdle that has Highlands. Most of Oklahoma gets more rain than we do. Is their hair like wool?

I wanted a few SH's for PETS... I think they're so cute. Love the ASOIAF names. Seeing as how I'm using one now. Having a multiple hair types layered = fur.

I don't know, but I do have a highland Angus cross. He is basically a black less hairy bull calf with no horns

[@victorb145]

I didn't realize they came in so many colors. I've been watching another KZbinr they have black and red. I thought it would be fun to try to predict the color of the four caves. I did reasonably well with my prediction of three black one red, reality produce two of each. With all the colors you got I would have to sit down with pen and paper and figure it out, and even then it would probably take a few generations for me to figure out what all them colors are doing.

Beautiful cows! We had 1 bull calf born on Easter and 1 born 3 days later. Do you have any tips on taming them? Are they too old by now? We have a super chill 4 yr. old bull (we didn't raise.) Is that a trait they're born with or is it taught?

You can learn to halter break them possibly. It takes a lot of time and patience but it can be done to help get them settled down. I just try to spend a lot of time around mine and give them treats. Some are still pretty skittish

Hi I took a drive through the country last week and noticed some 'hairy cows'. After I got home I looked them up and discovered they are Highlands. I am planning on moving to a homestead in a couple of years, this breed may just be the hardy 'lower' maintenance breed that would fit nicely into my plans. Can you let me know the minimum number to start a herd? Maybe go over the start-up cost and ROI? Thanks! My goals are to become net positive with each enterprise on the future farm / homestead. Thanks!!!

[@100AcreWoodHighlands]

Hey Robert, i'm glad to hear that you're moving to a homestead and interested in highlands. They can be a little more low maintenance and are of course awesome looking animals. I started my fold with 4 bred cows. In my opinion its less expensive to start small and grow a fold rather than purchase one. The start up costs can depend a lot on what you already have on the homestead. Is it fenced, are there barns, equipment like tractors and trailers? Also, prices for the cattle can vary pretty greatly depending on whether they are registered or not and where you are in the country.

@@Ann-my1dg They are cross breeds, the pure breed highland is only red, and they cross breed them for a better and newer gene pool. But that isnt necessary in Europe, but when you only breed with bulls, it is sometimes better to make a cross breed and use another breed bull on the highland.
