Highland Cattle with Long Wavy Coat

Highland cattle are also known as the hairy cow. Highland cattle are a Scottish breed of cattle with long horns and long wavy coats which are coloured black, brindled, red, yellow or dun. The breed was developed in the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland.
