He's a long way from home!

He is indeed very cute.

We have a few Heilan coos :roll: round here funnily enough. I can't find anywhere that sells their meat apart from an extremely posh place (posh like Fortnum and Masons) - I suppose it all gets shipped down south along with all our other stuff :angryfire:

our highlands aren't for beef :icon_smile: we've got 4 and they are pets.
We've got steers that go for beef, though. If I'm being honest, I find it very hard.

He is soooo cute. Have to say I have a soft spot for Highland cattle (glad he's not for meat).

Aww what a cutie!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Mum's not bad, when she's eating her moozlee she is so engrossed she doesn't notice of we pat him. He won't let us cuddle him though, he's just reached the stage of letting us pat his nose and he licks us!
