We love having you here and you’re always welcome to come visit… and it’s about time for another visit… You pick the flight, and I’ll get ya at the airport
I'm a farmer in a Africa, and my experience has mostly been with Brahman (bad tempered assholes, we've never gotten along) and Limousine (sweethearts). I'm sure Highlands would hate the heat here... But I watch you and it's clear how much you love them. In my experience, that's what counts. Like having a dog, you've just got to have a mutual respect and love for each other. Much love from Zimbabwe.
@@mrade5321 lol. I started brushing mine as a baby so he'd get used to it. I guess it's kind of like being groomed by a mama kitty to him. Actually, cows groom each other like that our of affection too, come to think of it. I wonder if that's why these big guys like it, too.
In the past, most of my good stories came from my time training dogs for search and rescue… as you can imagine working in animal control, and as a vet tech can be rewarding, but it’s also filled with lots of heartbreaking stories… And when I got to the point where I believed that people should have to pass a test to own a pet I decided it was probably best to get out while I still had a chance to make their lives better, and not just intervene under sad circumstances… But yes, I have lots of stories that I’m happy to share.

I just LOVE your two gentle giants. My favorite highlands on YT. When you lean down and hug and kiss them, I pretend it’s me doing it. Seeing your 2 is what made me fall in love with Highlands. Thanks for sharing them with us. Merry Christmas Mark.
I have read that Highland cow hair can be made into yarn. Do you collect the hair and sell it to spinners and weavers? The cows' hair reminds me of muskoxen, whose hair makes a beautiful yarn.
I wonder what the cattle make of the climate out there, being evolved for the cold miserable weather of Scotland. The dog wants some attention too haha
That depends on your definition of “ride”… I can sit on them while they move around but if you mean ride as in “intentionally steering them in a specific direction”.. then the answer is a most enthusiastic “Oh, hell no”
They clearly love the brushings n time with you. They are incredibly docile n gentle with you. Are they steers or bulls? or because you started brushing them as calves?
Highlands are widely regarded as fairly docile cows. Kyloe was 4 years old before I laid eyes on him. Having said that, I think its mostly due to the amount of time I spend with them. Experience also helps

Why brush a Highland cow? Because you CAN..❤😁🤗
😍😍😍😍
I enjoy watching you brush them. When I’m tired at night it’s relaxing to hear you talk to them.
THE DOG BESIDE WAITING JUS GOT ME🤣
There is no other feeling than being in the field brushing these gentle giants. I learned so much from you Marc! TY for the opportunity.

❤❤❤ You’re an amazing man. Caring for animals with such love makes this world a better place. Bless you.
You are so kind
You must be proud of your big beautiful boys!
One of my joys is brushing the jerseys during milking....

Hello from Los Angeles ca love your videos brushing the cows is very satisfying ❤❤
Same reason I brush my kitties and my puppydog. Because they like it and so do I. Also, the way he looked at you when you said he's always dirtier. 😂
I thought about brushing my kitty, then I decided living is better 😂

My man, your voice and the way you talk are so relaxing. You could talk about anything for an hour and it'd be a great "fall asleep to" video/audio.
Wow, thank you!
Marvelous creatures they are!
I just love how you love them. The satisfaction shows by the glaze in their eyes. Heartwarming. Thank you for sharing these precious times with us.
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks Mark always love your videos , more please 🤗👋 love from Scotland
Thank you! Will do!
You are the Bob Ross of cow's soothing voice and beautiful scenery with beautiful animals.
Thank you
You are the Bob Ross of Highlands. 👍
I can't even paint a fence post without getting it all over the place...lol...but thank you.
your chill demeanor sir, thats what hes sayin. loved your stories, could you share more of your stories with your previous animal job?
In the past, most of my good stories came from my time training dogs for search and rescue… as you can imagine working in animal control, and as a vet tech can be rewarding, but it’s also filled with lots of heartbreaking stories…

But yes, I have lots of stories that I’m happy to share.
@@HamishandKyloe thank you. i bet people would also like your previous job stories
@@HamishandKyloe Bless your heart sir. I'm sorry you had to see so many heartbreaking stories.
Episode 444, wow man congratulations!

I have a pet bull, and i brush him every weekend. And he enjoys it. He also gives plenty of licks back. His way of brushing me :)
Very satisfying
I would just love to pet pat them and enjoy the warmth. They seem so relaxed
I like how when they get brushed, how you get them in the right place, and they start to move their heads around, like when we listen to music.
I bet it's be so nice and warm to climb up and just lay on the cows back. He'd probably get sick of you after too long though! Another grand video.
I like how when you are doing the down stoke of the brush the cow will move it's head in time with it.
So beautiful

Something therputic brushing his hair..even watching it!
Your dogs waiting patiently for his turn for attention
I have read that Highland cow hair can be made into yarn. Do you collect the hair and sell it to spinners and weavers?
The cows' hair reminds me of muskoxen, whose hair makes a beautiful yarn.
I use the Furminator & Equigroomer on my double-coated pit/chow/shepherd mix. It’s impressive you can use 1 device on such large mammals 🤣
Why would you not take every opportunity to Brush Hamish and Kyloe?
doggo wants so hard to play fetch
Thank you. I enjoy your videos. Only wish I lived closer and could visit someday. Just sent you a donation>
Awesome, thank you!
I wonder what the cattle make of the climate out there, being evolved for the cold miserable weather of Scotland. The dog wants some attention too haha
Wondering if their hair can get knotted. I like to see you brushing them.
Yep, thats part of the reason I do brush em.
Can you ride them?
That depends on your definition of “ride”… I can sit on them while they move around but if you mean ride as in “intentionally steering them in a specific direction”.. then the answer is a most enthusiastic “Oh, hell no”
Is there any rhyme or reason why the terror twins, Kyloe and Hammish, that is, destroy the gate, or anything else?
Boredom… they sometimes do the same thing with trees or brush, but I think gates take the brunt of it because they like the way they “klang”
@@HamishandKyloe "Gate make funny noise." -Kyloe
Have you had them since babies? And how old are each one of them ?
They clearly love the brushings n time with you. They are incredibly docile n gentle with you. Are they steers or bulls? or because you started brushing them as calves?
Highlands are widely regarded as fairly docile cows. Kyloe was 4 years old before I laid eyes on him. Having said that, I think its mostly due to the amount of time I spend with them. Experience also helps
I've seen him say they're steers.
Yup
Do you ever shampoo them?
Nah. They'd hate it
