Scottish Highland Calf Canvas Print

The Scottish Highland cattle are a Scottish breed. They have long horns and long wavy coats that can be black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver or dun. They are raised primarily for their meat and are an ancient breed dating back to 6th century AD. They are from the Scottish Highlands and Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland. The first herd book described two distinct types of Highland cattle but, due to crossbreeding between the two, only one type now exists and is registered. They have since been exported worldwide.
They were bred to withstand the conditions in the Scottish Highlands and are therefore a hardy breed. Their long hair gives them the ability to handle the harsh winters of the Moors. Bulls can weigh up to 1,800 pounds and cows up to 1,100 pounds. Their milk has a very high butterfat content, and their meat is of the highest quality and is lower in cholesterol than other varieties of beef.

It is an incredibly beautiful world out there. Our goal is to try to capture some of it in our images. Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest we never lack for places to shoot. But never pass up the chance to visit all the many other beautiful places this world has to offer. Along with all the wonderful creatures, large and small. We have also been blessed with many wonderful photographic adventures to some awesome places which we are happy to share with you. If you see any photo on our website or my Facebook page that isn't in our galleries that you would like see here please send me a private message by clicking the link above. I will always try to make all of my images available. Dotty of WesDotPhotography
