Why is it called a Highland Coo?

Highland Cattle, commonly referred to as Highland Coo, are a breed of cattle native to Scotland. These majestic and hardy animals have been living in the Scottish Highlands for centuries, and their distinctive long horns and shaggy coats make them easily recognizable. This is the reason why they are sometimes referred as hairy coos or a hairy coo.

So why is this breed called the Highland Coo?

Highland Coo Cam

Take a look at what some of these Highland coos got up too with our coo cams.

Watch them graze about in the meadows, forage for food and even interact with each other. We have cameras placed around Scotland to capture these amazing creatures as they roam free in their natural habitat. With our coo cams you can get up close and personal with Highland coos no matter where you are in the world. So sit back and enjoy the show!
