Happy Highland Cows

The hills of western North Carolina are a perfect place for Scottish Highland Cattle-and apparently, so is the internet! Meet the adorable cows of Happy Hens & Highlands Farm and the couple who harnessed social media to try a new kind of farming that has created a viral cuteness around the world in our all new My Home, NC story.

i love this so much i am so glad there are people like you who care for these wonderful animals

[@salvatorem1959]

I love how they took such s love for their cows that they decided not to do beef with the cows . Meaning they don't send their cows off to the Feed lot and slaughterhouse. So awesome . My favorite farmers right here .

[@saintakins187]

Knowing ourselves we will probably be like little kids playing with these Highland cows, hugs & cuddles.🥰

I didn't have pet dogs or cats when I was younger, I had my pet cow Barney, who was a Scottish highlander.

They seem so docile and sweet! We loved visiting with them. Thanks for sharing!

Highland cows are really beautiful and sort of scary. They have those horns and all that fur. But, they are so gentle and cuddly.

A neighbour has a gaggle of these up the highway from me. Very friendly, have mastered the knack of bumming for treats from the horses (they know I always have a stash of apples and carrots). They raise them to be pets on hobby farms.

If you raise animals to kill or sell them, you're as disgusting as a slave owner.

[@harolddenton6031]

I have direct bloodlines back to Yancey County,nc in the 1700's. I have jones ancestors buried at snow creek area up by nc/ va border. Lots of my scotch/ irish ancestors settled up in hillsides of western nc before migrating across the western nc blue ridge hills settling in northeast Tennessee by Johnson city and jonesborough areas by the 1770 to 1780's. Love the highland breed of cows. Wouldn't mind buying a cow or two from you all when I move back to hawkins county,tn to look after my elderly dad. One of my best friends growing up back there he owns a farm.

[@truth4004]

These are the cutest cows. Hope they don't get eaten. They're so nice and so are the people.

[@robertphillips3078]

Thx 4 sharing guys. I fell in❤ with Highland Cattle when l was about 9-10 yrs old. I am almost 63. Understand they would e hard 2 slaughter because they r like part of the family. There meat so l am informed by reliable sources is excellent. I dont have a farm which is disappointing. Last year l found another breed that l hadn't heard or seen b4. A all white Cattle from Italy. Think it was Tuscany or Piedmont region. And the meat has next 2 know fat. Also a gr8 look'in beast. Enjoy ur Wooly Rugs on 4 legs. 👌👍

[@deelight6022]

You're right, I could not eat a cow this loving.

[@LabradoodleTofuBoy]

This is why I don’t eat meat. Their faces are so cute & huggable. The babies are like big big stuffed animal. This is my fav fav video. I’m saving it to my HAPPY KZbin file. Thank you for spreading a beautiful message to love & celebrate life of these cuties. You even trim their hair & take them on field trips?!! Lol Thank you for loving them.

[@margaretleboeuf6765]

What an enjoyable way to live! It's great to hear y'all have found ways to enrich your lives. I love animals 😍 My Momma's family in Texas were farmers, and I really liked their 🐄 Bessie

[@margaretleboeuf6765]

Unfortunately, when we visited from Louisiana one year, I asked where was Bessy? My uncle told me, in his thick, slow drawl, 'tharl she is on the taaaabbble, and the rest of her is over to the frrreeezzzerrr' I was Horrified! I knew farmers raised animals for food. Men in my family hunted in order to feed their families. But eating an animal you named seemed 🤔 so horrible to me! In my mind, if you developed a relationship and named an animal, it becomes a member of the family! I understand y'all not choosing to raise those beautiful Highland cattle to give them a good home, and selling only to hobby farmers. I refused to eat Bessie. I am an omnivore, no way could I be vegetarian or vegan..😊
