Yes we do have the hairy blond cows!!! 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!! |

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! |
