CHAAAAAAAARRRRGE !!!

ooh gosh, wouldnt like to meet him any time soon :^))

Ruuuuuuuun

On 'Countryfile' tonight, Adam said that the calves are just like teddy bears! I love the adults too though.

It's true, the calves are just gorgeous.

They are like the one's on Dartmoor, and can they move when they wont to hehe

lol : )

Great picture, you must have got away in the nick of time;0)

I live beside Pollok Country Park where they bread their prize winning highland cattle. The calves are like teddy bears. They have the red brown colour, black, light cream and I think the call it coffee colour, cattle. They show the adults with calves at the highland games etc. Next time I'm there I will see if they have any young ones. :o)

There's a heard of these roaming on one of the nearby hills. They're beautiful animals.

Lol! Looks like Satchmo - with horns!!

I love these,Sticki..and also saw them on Countryfile last night..those little calves were gorgeous..Adam was asking for "M" names for them...I thought Millie and Mo ...moo cow would have been a bit naff,but did cross my mind ! Lol.

I was safely behind the fence!

Thank you all for your comments! made me smile.

How lovely Linda, I went to one small highland games once, great fun, especially the caber tossing.

I'm sure they only used to be in Scotland but now they are increasingly popular, which is great.

I love your Satchmo, Karen - reminds me of a dog we once had. Hope he is feeling better now.

Oops morning bloomer! Nearly missed your comment! I did see country file, I like it, I also get the magazine. Those calves are gorgeous. I was wondering how Adam wanted people to tell their suggestions? Was it via the web site?

I don't know,Sticki..never thought of that ! We always record it,if we are unable to watch it..a great programme..but I was sad when they said those little chickens only lived for 49 days ..although they do have a good life up to then....such a short time..:o(

Love Highland Cattle they have beautiful faces.

Unbelievable wasn't it! 49 days to grow up (and then be eaten)!
Think I will check the website?

I agree pimms, I love their faces, and the colour.

Great pic!!!!!! scary mind!

no he is probably a friendly teddy bear on four legs [oh and with horns] wanting to play!!!?????

Awww..i wanted to nominate it but couldnt find bulls or cows or even aminals!

aw pixi, thank you!! dont worry!

:)))))

:-)

Could be garden pest.

certainly would be if he got in the garden!!!!! mind you i wouldnt mind a highland garden for that matter ~ i would love to be in scotland!!

i will be next month!!!

Aw wish you could come here ST!

would love to pix!

and you could teach me to draw cartoons!!!???

lol I dont do cartoons really..thats an artform in itself! But i might try!

bet you could!!!

When ever i see one of these i wont to call them Hamish :)

Good name I think clarice!

Lovely pic, aren't they beautiful creatures.
I would like to be able to draw cartoons. So many little things happen in life that I would love to capture in a cartoon. I used to care for a friend who used to be a cartoonist, amazing and amusing talent!

Great photo Stickie, I wouldn't have liked to have got too near. You must have a really good camera.

A long lens perchance!

Great shot Sticki, thank heaven for the fence eh? love these cattle I was smiling at Adam stroking the wee calf on Country file :o)

lol you can just tell that he's thinking, "go ahead, punk, make my day"

Friends of mine rear Highland cattle..Brenda and HAMISH are their names! lol dont kno whwat the cows are called tho :)

the zoom on this camera is better than before rose and lulu but no long lens!!

thanks rose and neellan

you just might be right fran!!

how lovely pixi! i think they are beautiful.

He looks a bit businesslike, Sticki! Good job you were behind the fence!

I dont think i would like to be in the same field Melchi, some of the others looked almost cuddly!!??

lovely photo Sticki, they get a bit protective when they have their young.

yes, i expect so, i really like them.
thanks linda

i missed this one, great pic Sticki...

i took a few SL, there was a friendlier looking one there that was lovely but this picture made me smile!!

yes i can see why :-)

;-)

I just adore these beasts! We see them often, but I wish we saw them even more.....they are absolutely stunning animals.....and ginger too...just like my children....and red squirrels! :))

lovely arent they karen, i only used to see them when i came north of the border but they are becoming more popular everywhere.

Yay! another successful scottish export! ;)))

Impressive beastie :o)

i think scotland has some amazingly fantastic exports karen but its best it keeps ~ the scenery!!!

you are right HB, unusual combination ~ strength and calm

Oh I'm sorry they moved but what a lovely story, I had no idea they were so gentle.

i love these to sticki :o))

:-)
