I could not resist posting the majestic appearance of this beautiful looking and very photogenic beast from New Zealand.
.jpg)
These gentle, intelligent and good-natured animals originated in the Highlands and West Coastal Islands of Scotland. They are tough animals, are a low maintenance breed, ideal for hills and moors and can survive harsh environments due to their double coat of hair (a downy undercoat and all-oiled outer coat which can shed rain and snow).
They are mostly kept for their meat as it is of high quality with a fine texture, excellent flavour and low in fat and cholesterol. Their milk is high in butterfat, ideal for butter and cheese.
We do not have beauties like these in my country (which is maybe a good thing because I will never get it over my heart to eat one)and I absolutely fell in love with this animal.
The original photo was taken in colour on a farm in New Zealand with a Canon Coolpix in 2015.
Great post. Thanks

I know you said they are quite gentle but it really look like one serious cow needing a hair cut.

Great looking animal and nature has provided him with many necessities such as the double coat of hair for warmth in the colder months and the oily overcoat that sheds water. Does this animal provide milk for humans?

Thank you team101. Yes, they do and have quite a high fat content which is excellent for butter and cheese.
