From the wind and rain swept Scottish Highlands comes a different bred of beef cattle, the Highland bull. With rugged long wavy coats of red or black hair, a handsome lot who can survive in the northern climates where others would die. Here along a highway in Eagle, ID, I found a fold of them and captured the following photos.
This photo is being published in the Best of 2011 – G+ Photography Book. Highland Bull – This character was munching some grass, when I stopped the car, and walked over to the fence with my trusty camera. There was about 6-7 of these highland cattle including some youngsters quietly enjoying some hay, some were nursing, while others played games of follow the leader and butting heads… I started snapping shots to capture the moment, and this rather large bull came over and took some interest in what I was doing beside the fence. Kind of a shaggy creature, with some weathered lines in his face (I’m just imaging this), he had quite the coat and seemed warm in comparison to the temperature outside. Wonder what he thought of this strange human, who hasn’t brought any food, and is making this clicking sound. I think he had a sense of humor or something because he then let out a bellow, but unfortunately I had focused on the others at the time and missed the shot… darn it! #PlusOneCollection
