Highland Cattle

 Highland cattle

I pass these cattle regularly but have to say the weather has been extremely uncooperative. Whenever I am out, the sun is in and vise versa. These guys are high up on a hill, pulled in with my point-and-shoot's zoom.

Green grass

Note that the grass has turned green at this farm. I'm hoping the cattle will soon be allowed to graze in a lower field closer to the road...and that the sun will be shining.

I am linking with Saturday Critters HERE.

    Impressive beasts, however they are usually placid animals in my experience. Which is to say that I've walked through fields where they've been grazing without them taking even the slightest interest. Of course some are so hairy that they probably can't see me.

    The grass really has freshened up there. It has been awhile since I've seen that kind of cattle.

    I was unaware that we raised any of this type. I wonder what they provide that others don't? Aside from looks, I mean.

    How cool- shaggy cows! I've never seen any in real life...they would surely roast down here in the south!

    The green grass is a refreshing sight. Those horns look pretty dangerous to me,but a good telephoto lens still works for pictures.
