Hand Feeding friendly cows

These four cows have been getting special treatment since they are the only ones now at our home farm in Montrose. The rest of the livestock is at a leased farm for the spring. I've been taking them some treats out when I go to do chores. They are getting friendly, Big Rhonda will now eat out of my hand and so will the others. Willie and Charlie are letting me scratch their chins a bit too.

Scottish Highlander cows are a heritage breed dating back to the 6th century. They originate from the rough and craggy highlands of North Scotland. Highlanders are a resilient breed and are known for their foraging ability. They can use their horns to work through brush and trees to get at tender shoots they like to eat. They are a dual purpose breed and can not only provide exceptional beef but high fat milk. Highlander beef is renowned for its flavor and marbling as well as its tenderness. Even the Queen of England has a fold of Scottish Highlanders at her Scottish estate Balmoral. We chose them for our farm because of their foraging ability and great finishing on grass.
