Highland cows look like big fluffy stuffed animals — but there are a few surprises people don’t learn until they’re actually in the pasture with one. 😅Here are FIVE things most people never hear:
1️⃣ They calve easier than most breeds — but not all calves are tiny.
This year ours have ranged from 35–84 pounds. Some are true minis, some aren’t — and responsible breeders always tell the truth about that.
2️⃣ They form deep bonds… with YOU.
A Highland will remember your voice, your routine, and even your mood. They’re incredibly emotional animals.
3️⃣ Their fluff changes with the seasons.
That big winter coat? Completely different from their sleek summer look. It surprises people every time.
4️⃣ Bottle babies sound cute — but they’re a HUGE commitment.
Most Highlands nurse naturally, but if you ever bottle-feed one, just know:Your life becomes their schedule. 😂
**5️⃣ They are addictive. Truly.
One cow becomes two…Two becomes five…And suddenly you’re rearranging your life for the fluff.Ask me how I know. 😅**
If you want, I can break down any of these in more detail — just tell me which one you’re most curious about!
