This highlander was in the Texel forest, beautiful animals with large horns.
The Scottish Highlander (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scottish: Heilan coo), also called Highland Cow, is a mostly reddish-brown breed of cattle native to Scotland. They have long hair and long horns.
Until 1849, most Scottish Highlanders were black in color. The story goes that in the 1840s, Queen Victoria visited the Scottish Highlands and then expressed her preference for the red animals. She simply thought these were more beautiful. She ordered more red highlanders to be bred.[2] In addition to black and red, there are also blond varieties. An adult bull weighs 800 pounds and a cow 500 pounds. The height at the withers is 125 and 115 cm (20 and 31 inches) respectively. Scottish Highlanders can live up to eighteen years. In that time a cow can give birth to about fifteen calves. The gestation period is about ten months. Cows have widely spaced, upward-pointing horns, while those of bulls are horizontally forward.
