Up Close and Personal


Up Close and Personal

I couldn't resist posting another picture of my new friend. I realized after consulting my "Field Guide to Cows" book that this cow is a she, and not a "he". I have a habit of always calling every animal I see a "he" for some reason. One way to tell the sex of a Highland Cow is to look at the horns. If they're pointing up, it's a female, and if down it's a bull! The bulls also weigh twice as much as the females.
