Highland Cow

Wet and windy day on the farm she did not look happy

[Lou Ann]

Well she’s a wonderful cow. Here we make rugs out of cow’s hide, does your country make rugs out of highland cow’s hides?

[Peter]

@louannwarren Thank you for your interesting comment not something I had given any thought to Lou Ann,
The hides are used as a sofa throw, rug, or wall-hanging, the hides can also be used to beautifully upholster chairs and stools and can be made into unusual purses and other specialty leather goods:)

And so muddy too.

[Lou Ann]

@pcoulson oh I’m sure they are wonderful home decor items. We use cow hide just like your country uses Highland hides, for so many things.

[Louise & Ken]

@ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana for your comment, this farmer has a baby one but it was not out in the open on this occasion:)

Love seeing these cows. They look so much more shaggy than ours here in Canada. :)

[Ron]

These guys always fascinate me, and you got a great shot! Ever thought of "Highland Cow Wednesdays?"

[Peter]

@novab Thank you for your interesting comment Nova this is a very typical Highland cow:)

[Peter]

@stray_shooter Thank you Ron, like you I could not pass them by without taking a shot, all were in a small muddy field next to a stone barn as thier normal fields are still waterlogged, had to use a 300mm lens for this shot:)
