Book Description
Have you ever seen a "Highland Cow"? Isn't a cow just a cow? NO! This author had never seen a Highland cow before, but after seeing them she fell in love and wanted to learn more about these beautiful and fascinating animals. This book is the findings of her research, albeit just scraping the surface about what is known about these animals. The author wants to share a history lesson with the reader: the history of Scottish Highland cattle from the migration from the Scottish Moors, to Saskatchewan Canada, and then to America. She also desires the reader to capture and see the beauty of Highland cattle and its evolution. The author also wants to show how important today Highland cattle can be for modern agriculture - for both big and small farms - with benefits regarding cost, the environment, biodiversity, sustainable farming, and maintaining a healthy ecosystem. But the author has come to see another aspect of Highland cattle: A human connection with a magnificent animal, deeply rooted in mutual respect and care, extending beyond the practical aspects of history and agriculture, and into the realm of emotional connection. Highland cattle teach us about adaptability, patience, and the simple joys of life. These animals demonstrate the beauty of living in harmony with nature, adapting to the challenges of their environment while offering humans a model of sustainability and resilience. So have you ever seen a Highland Cow? If you have then learn about them and if not, the author invites you to discover them with her. This book is for farmers, animal historians, environmentalists, and both adult and children alike. The author hopes the reader will fall in love with Highland cattle also.

Book Description
A delightful photo-filled celebration of this uniquely charismatic Scottish cattle breed. One of Britain’s most popular farm animals, these long-horned, curly-coated cows are among the many subjects featured in Villager Jim’s daily online photographic adventures, which have gained numerous followers. Jim, who’s earned an Editor’s Choice in the British Wildlife Photography Awards, wanders among the herds throughout the seasons, taking shots from many different angles as they graze on moorland, heathland, woodland copses, and lush green farmland. Getting close to one to photograph is a respectful journey; although they are normally very peaceful animals, Jim is always mindful to stay within their field of view and not invade their space too much. Many of Jim’s shots have a comic element to them, with the cows’ fondness for constant nose cleaning and their serious but amusing expressions semi-hidden behind masses of tangled hair. The photos and captions in this colorful collection are a unique treat for anyone who loves animals.
