Highland Cows at Play

Highland cows are a hardy breed, having been bred to withstand the conditions in the Scottish Highlands. Their long hair and downy undercoat gives them the ability to overwinter.

 

These two are play fighting, a common behavior that seems partly inspired by attention from passing walkers. I hoped to capture at least one Highland cow, but never expected to encounter this display!

 

Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
