Highland calves.

Somebody asked so here they are. 7

I have always liked them little buggers. They look like little wolly manoths. Thanks for the pictures.

Our neighbor used to raise these. I heard they have a nice disposition and lean meat. Nice pictures.

Those are coos! Where do you have them at?

Awww shucks, they're awful cute!

I'm over on the Oregon coast by Newport. There's a couple of folds around here.

Almost all baby animals are cute or their mothers cover them with dirt so they do not have to feed them.

Seriously, very good pics. Just sent a highland cross to the locker plant for butcher. Crosses just do not seem to do as well as the real thing.

What are you crossing them with? I'm going to cross mine with Irish Dexter for milk and meat and an easier to manage size. Well that was the plan till all three calves came out as bull. 7

Hey! We had a dexter highland cross cow! Nice medium size, tame and easy to handle. Small world.

Sorry to disagree on their temperament. We had 5, had to get rid of them 'cause they wouldn't stay put! I would get a call every day/ every other day from neighbors saying they were out. Plenty of food & water in the pasture, but they would just climb over a woven wire fence. Didn't matter if it had barbed wire, electric, wood or metal posts. Now we're down to a 1-yr.-old cow, she seems to be content to stay home.
