Hello Cutie!
I am a Scottish Highland coo
Highland Coos are one of the friendliest cattle breeds, they’re hardly ever mooooo-dy. Although friendly, they still have massive horns on their heads, so even if you really want a coo-ddle, we wouldn’t recommend it.
Highland Cows show affection to each other by mounting, play fighting and licking each other.
I must photograph that cutie
