Animal Planet Scottish highland calf

Highland cattle are known for their long-haired coats, which help the furry cows cope with the harsh conditions of the Scottish Highlands. Highland cattle inhabit areas of Scotland near the Arctic Circle, meaning they have adapted to the most uncompromising conditions. Highland cattle originally come from Scotland. Today, they can be found in Europe, North America, and Australia, where they are typically raised for their meat, but some people also use the long hair of Highland cattle.
