Curious highland cow

Scottish highlands are easily among my favourite breeds of cattle.

I was quite happy when a boy from my tuition group told me he had spotted some. (Actually he thought he had found some bisons).

This female cow is extremely curious on whats going on and came directely to check me out, before the rest of the group followed. They soon lost interest when I did not feed them and wandered off. Clever!

Females are lighter than males (usually lighter than 500 kg) and are easy to identify because their long horns go to the sides and upward, while the males horns are shorter and bow foreward.
