A: Highland Cows are one of the oldest registered breeds of cattle in the world. Written records of the Highland Cow breed date back to 1885, recorded by the Highland Cattle Breed Society, but first mentioned in the 6th Century, originating in the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland. They are [...]
A: We don’t need to give them special food. They forage our grasslands and hills, selectively grazing any area they wish. Their diet is rich in many species of grasses and other types of vegetation. There is a wide range of legume species and grasses that grow on our hills, giving [...]
A: No, this is a myth! Cows do not have 4 stomachs, but in fact have 1 stomach with 4 chambers (sections) to it. Food travels through the 4 chambers which each have a specific role in the break-down and digestion of the food matter. These 4 chambers mean that they [...]

A: Their brain activity during deep sleep does show signs of dream state, and whilst cows are in paradoxical sleep (the phase when the body is asleep but the brain is active), their brain wave activity will sometimes cause their eyes to flicker open and shut, the muscles in their ears, [...]

A: Their tongues are very long, strong and dexterous and have a rough surface that feels similar to sand-paper and shark skin. The roughness is actually the different sized taste buds, which help to hold on to the saliva in the mouth (which is essential for starting to break down the [...]
A: No. Their body hair is actually a very clever 2-layer coat. The outer layer is longer and thicker, with natural oils secreted from their skin that coats this hair, meaning water runs off it and doesn’t penetrate their coat. The under layer of hair is much shorter, finer and fluffier. [...]
