Just googled highland cow ( never heard of one before ) and yep that's what it is.

Still fab looking animal

Is it a cow or a bull that is there? One in a field might suggest it is a bull.

Both are pretty cool looking, but am asking as I have not seen a Highland bull in the flesh for a few decades. They are built like a tank, and their heads always remind me of a minotaur from Greek mythology.

Been going past this field all week and the Aberdeen Angus seems to be gone. Hope he's not on the supermarket shelves ...:(
The white horse is still there though.

I noticed that she'd gone this week as well. I'll keep an eye out in the other fields as we often walk around that area
