Despite their long horns and unusual appearance, Scottish Highland Cattle are typically friendly and even-tempered, bulls as well as cows. They are easily halter trained, and make great projects for children and teenagers. Both male and female Highlands have horns. The first Scottish Highland herd book was established here in 1884, when American cattlemen from the western U.S. imported these picturesque cattle to improve the blood lines they brought with them from the Eastern states. As a result, the Scottish Highland contributed in a great way to the success of the American cattle industry. Today Scottish Highlands are found throughout North America, as well as in Europe, Australia and South America. Scottish Highlands require little in the way of shelter, feed supplements or grain to achieve and maintain good condition. They thrive outdoors in cold weather, snow and rain. Highland cattle are raised as far north as Alaska and the Scandinavian countries. Less than ideal pasture or range land is another reason to consider the Highland breed. These cattle are excellent browsers, able to clear a brush lot with speed and efficiency.
