Highland Cattle Calves are a distinctively adorable breed. Just like babies, animals can possess an undeniable cuteness, and these fluffy calves are a perfect illustration. Contrary to common expectations of cows, these calves are uniquely fuzzy and warm.
The calves of the Highland cattle boast long, wavy coats, petite snouts, tongues, and a small stature. They also have the longest hair of any cattle breed, draping over their faces and hooves, adding to their charm.
Originating from the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland, these endearing, plush-looking animals are well-suited for environments with harsh climates, strong winds, heavy rainfall, and cooler temperatures due to their luxurious fur.
These cows are equipped with a double layer of fur: an oily outer layer that repels rain and a downy undercoat that insulates their bodies. Thus, even in snowy conditions, they can forage for food, using their horns to shovel away snow and uncover buried plants.
