Hi Debbie, I didn't say hi on the intro thread, so hello now!!

Yes we do have the hairy blond cows!!! Laughing  they are highland cattle, i think they originate from Scotland, but there are a fair few around down here too. You have to look though, they're not as common as the black and white ones!!Smile

Do you mean the Highland Cattle Debbie?

They are lovely! I have only really seem them in Scotland (never been to Ireland). I think they are sometimes in some of the animal parks in England but I have never seen them in farms here personally. I have seen the Longhorn cattle here though in Pembrokeshire. They are not as pretty as the Highland ones though!

Think they are called Aberdeen Angus cattle Debbie. There are breeders in England that farm them. They make fantastic beefburgers and beef steaks lol

Aberdeen Angus is a bulky predominantly black bovine Michael.

The hairy ones are indeed Highland Cattle or Kyloe.

Both are edible  .
