The Scottish Highland Cow is a mostly red-brown breed of cattle that originates from Scotland. They have long hair and long horns. In addition to black and red, there are also blond varieties. An adult bull weighs 800 kilos and a cow 500 kilos. The height at the withers is 125 and 115 cm respectively. Scottish Highlanders can live up to eighteen years. During that time, a cow can give birth to about fifteen calves. The gestation period is about ten months. Cows have wide-spaced, upward-facing horns, while those of the bulls stand horizontally forward.
