The Highland is one of few animals whose hair is "alive" and home to many small insects, once removed by the root it becomes slightly toxic to smaller animals.
Cows are nothing but big dogs, they are teachable, and show love. My dad gave me a calf, I was 7 years old. She became my playmate, she would kick a ball around with me, she would get next to the fence so I could get on her back. I’d brush her, hug her and lay on her. I know you think I’m weird for saying this but I truly miss her.
Not weird at all. Many animals are capable of not being the "normal" kind, and are instead very caring and affectionate to a person. It is great to have such a bond.
The cow moved his horns in the opposite direction of the approaching man. Situational awareness and nice manners are excellent characteristics of a pet
I'm rehabbing a feral cat. She makes the same motion when I get close to present the section of her chin and neck she wants scratched the most. You know you're reaching them when the make little responses like this.
I’ve heard the same thing about cats. People with cats have lower blood pressure and live longer, because, by petting cats, he takes your negative ions away. Plus, everyone knows cations are not negative ions. 🤔
I'd say it's a tough choice between this and a draft horse, both of which can get to be about 2,000 pounds. 4,000 would be two cattle, or two horses. If you want something closer to 4,000, there's the hippopotamus, but I wouldn't recommend those as pets. XD
This bull is stunning, like something out of a fairy tale. Its coat absolutely glows. It's a gentle giant but I wouldn't want to be on the business end of those horns.
I work with a bunch of farm animals including steers and tbh I'd prefer those giant horns to the stubby and sharp horns that some steers have. cows like to bash each other (and you) with their heads as a form of communication and I'd rather have a concussion than a really nasty and possibly fatal puncture wound lol
He's like the Bob Ross of cattle ranchers. His voice is so soothing and I just love how he calmly explains the importance of respecting highland cattle for what they are, not the cute cuddly pets people want them to be, and all the work that goes into caring for them while he brushes Hamish.
@@trollof229antthevariable9 I've noticed that British people and American's have two separate standards for the differences between Auburn and Ginger. Seems like that kinda situation.
Highlanders are not really that big...Bulls tend to be about 1600-1800 pounds and cows tend to be 1100 to 1300 pounds. They are compact cattle. At least my parents Highlanders grew to that size.
@@ethanrepine8862 Yeah, I just replied to another comment saying that Hamish looks like the largest highland cattle I've ever seen. The ones I've encountered in real life tend to be much more short in stature.
My cousin raises these in Pennsylvania. One day I went to visit him. I called him on the phone he said he was down at the birthing field. I got to video one being born. What a treat. I've been out to help him feed them a couple times and it was a fun experience. They are a beautiful animal.
Except you can feel and move your fingertips. A greater analogy would be how a person with long nails gets used to them and knows how to hold things and do things with them without a problem, or scratch without being too intense and getting hurt, etc
@@HamishandKyloe I was the Mascot for the University of Texas - a Longhorn. The mascot helmet had very wide horns - just wider than a doorway - so I got to learn where they were pretty quick, and tricks like hanging hats or bags on them, or nudging people with them, even though they were completely out of sight. I bet nerve endings would have made that easier to learn, but I'll skip for now
We had highland cows for several years. They are loving and sweet and very docile. Our bull, Big Red, would take an apple from a child's hand in the gentlest of ways.
@@ordinarypete we had to move cross-country for a few years so we gave them to a local historical farm, where they have continued to thrive/breed. Big Red is in bull heaven though.
they are beautiful animals, i used to ride my horse past a paddock that had 2 of these beautiful animals, they used to always come up to say hello to myself and my horse, never attempted to touch any of them ever, when you dont know an animal personally you dont take risks, Hamish is awsome, i enjoyed the video and agree with you 100%, i am from Australia in the state of victoria, i grew up in kinglake as a child, in the bush on a mountin, farm land .one of our horses lived to 44 years old, we bought him when he was 14, most people remember him, so many learnt to ride on him, thanks again, take care stay safe xoxoxo
I have only had one experience with 1 of these Highlands on a educational farm, it literally made all the other animals who behaved completely normal look like assholes in comparison . These creatures are fantastic and from my experience very kid friendly.
I wish more people realised just how lovely cows can be and that they really should be treated better. I think Hamish is very lucky to have you! Edit: damn it's been 1 year and people are STILL arguing and getting mad over nothing lol
@@yourdad5799 It's such a shame that suggesting people buy free-range meat is seen as "hippie" or whatever. It's just... a nice thing to do. The people that produce that stuff deserve your hard-earned money for trying to provide a product without being cruel to the animals. I mean the actual people that care about this stuff, and not just corporations that use the label "cruelty free" while doing the bare minimum to be classified as such. The only issue is that it's more expensive, which is a valid reason to not go for it... but people should still try, when they get the chance.
@@yourdad5799 Would you eat human flesh too, just because that's tasty?? Really?? I think you should develop more compassion, mere than just being slave to your stupid taste buds!!
@@sarahbelle81 exactly it's healthier, sustainable and not cruel and unethical. Will you eat less meat? Probably, but you also probably don't need to eat as much of if. It will also force you to consume less noble cuts and parts of the cow we sometimes think are disgusting (heart, liver, etc) which adds to the overall efficiency, nutrition, The problem is that the government does not implemente the real price of meat to keep the industry of food processing making huge profits. Government also needs to correct the low salary/high profits otherwise people will stop consuming meat which may lead to serious health consequences. Yes Lewis Hamilton is vegan and so are many many famous people... but he is worth £300 million and has the best specialists in the world crafting an extremely complex varied diet personalised to his taste, physiology, genetics and needs while monitoring numerous parameters to maximise health, well-being and performance. He also has people who plan, shop for ingredients and prepare his meals. BUT, sometimes people get carried away and cannot see the bigger picture...all in all is this diet that better in terms of sustainability and environment? Is the huge amounts of money Lewis spends on his diet while others can't that ethical and significant for the whole picture???, money that he makes from being a pilot for over 14 years of polluting ICE's open wheel racing championship that whitewashes and runs ads of polluting and criminal states and personalities; money that he makes from advertisements and sponsorships for highly unethical and polluting corporations; money that he earns because other people are kept poor buying up the shit he sells either directly (adverts) and indirectly (sponsorships to him, his team and the championship); money that he partially hides in tax havens. This is just Lewis, maybe the most ethical and conscientious of the bunch. Normal people don't have the time, knowledge and capital to ensure a healthy vegan diet. Those who go vegan find it extremely hard because not only you are extremely limited in what you can eat, you have to have a lot of certain foods to get specific macronutrients. Most end up eating highly processed expensive vegan food and taking various expensive supplements. Not even mentioning intolerances and personal taste/circumstances. Is a processed food and supplements based diet that good for someone? Especially a likely nutrient deficient uncontrolled one?! Is it that ethical, unpolluting and sustainable after all?? What about habitats that are obliterated to cultivate monocultures for supplements and the vegan industry?

I won’t lie, was not expecting the American southern accent on this gentleman when the topic is the Highland Coo 😅 Greetings from Scotland to you and beautiful Hamish.
My uncle used to have Highland cows. His prized one was a steer named Cougar. Pitch black with huge horns, and absolutely enormous. He was the BIGGEST baby. He would have crawled up into my lap if he could've. They truly are an amazing breed and I'm lucky to say I grew up with them 💛
Beautiful highlander you have there! In the netherlands they live in the national parks to control the vegetation levels. There are multiple herds and it's a beautiful sight
Im just in awe, what a beatiful animal this is. Cattles in generell are so underrated Animals because most ppl just get in touch with these kind of animals when visiting a steakhouse or Mcdonals yet there very handsome and have a much higher social inteligence than what ppl would think.
just evolution for the most part they have grown to be docile to us because we keep them safe until we eat them :D you could say it's a toxic relationship
"When you have a 700 pound dog who jumps into your lap, you're going to have a problem." 🤣🤣😆 So true! Your videos are so beautiful, relaxing, funny, and informative. Thank you for sharing these amazing animals and your wisdom with us!
Каков красавец ... Это просто совершенство, шедевр. Поздравляю вас с таким питомцем . Эти пропорции,цвет, рога, сильные ноги, спокойный характер - всё вызывает восхищение. Целовать его в этот замечательный нос!
The graphics on this Skyrim mod looks amazing Everyone knows that Skyrim cows are the best pet ever. You can leave all of the cages open and they still stay in their pins, eating hay and grass all day.
Your videos are so peaceful. They are helping me heal from the recent heartbreak of losing my beloved cat. Thank you for sharing the precious bonds you have with animals.
You are 100% correct about bottle raised animals, especially the males. Bottle raised bulls are very dangerous, goats and sheep are both dangerous. A ram that was raised on a bottle by my neighbor destroyed his knee. You couldn't even walk in the pasture with him. The issue is because they were raised by humans they equate you as another bull, buck, or ram entering their territory and will act accordingly. A young bull will always challenge an older bull when the 2 are put in the same pen.
Dogs are the same way. I adopted an 8 month old puppy from a coworker who was abandoned at birth (the pup, not the coworker😅). I had 6 other dogs who, together, "removed" her from the pack (about a year after I brought her home) because she "didn't know the rules."
they say this about juvenile male elephants as well. It seems to go across many species. We also see this in the documentary 'Buck' and the problematic horse and its person.
I met a baby once who was shy, so I slowly approached her and talked to her, with my side facing her. Then she sniffed me for a while, and once I could pet her, I started scratching. She LOVED it. She made all kinds of funny faces and stretched her head in weird directions, lol. Sooooo worth the patience.
I had a friend with highlands. He raised them on a hobby farm. I was shocked to learn how gentle these animals were. When it was time to send his highlands away, Bob wept.
@@djarbeebo6023 I am literally sitting next to my pet hippopotamus right now. He is curled up on a giant lily pad reading "James and the Giant Peach." As docile as they come. #TrueFacts
Our brains are so fascinating. I can look at this cow and just be happy. It's shape, cuteness, and color is visually pleasing and retains my interest. Obviously your advice is engaging, but it's funny to me how I could happily just sit there and look at a cow doing nothing on my computer screen and not feel I'm wasting my life. Thanks for this!
This takes me back 50 years. Always happy memories of grooming the farms highland bull.They always seemed to enjoy the brushing. And very relaxing work for me. Happy days they were.
My auntie had a Highland bull named Hamish as well but he was most certainly NOT a good boi like yours. He was quite literally a killer and a danger to everybody if he ever got out of the paddock. If you were female/child, in his paddock and didn't cause trouble, you were actually quite safe. A man? Nope, he'll run you down and make sure you were taken off the census. Hamish out of his paddock? Everybody is a target. Remember folks, as lovely and docile as highlands are, not all of them are as delightful as this Hamish. Never approach any livestock you don't know.
The Scotch Highland remains on page one with me. As a Domestic cattle breed, they require the least attention, are highly resilient to harsh weather, and more.
@@cappyjones I was in home economics and was put in a group with someone who said they hated all desserts. When we were assigned to create a dessert as a group project. I still remember that a million years later. It should have been the best assignment ever, to literally bake a dessert and eat it in class and instead was a miserable experience. Because one person was the biggest stick in the mud you’ve ever met and complained the whole time.
@@cappyjones lol, no, but apparently she’s married and lives in California and has kids now. Apparently her husband doesn’t like food. Poor kids too, lol.
Wasn't planning on watching a man brush a highland bull for 8 minutes when I woke up today, but here I am.

@@cfrost87 yeah , , , , he got no balls . Call them 'bullochs' in Scotland .
God bless America
Somewhere nearby there's a really warm bird's nest made of Highland hair
Haha! How cute!
Lol, I was thinking the same!
yeah it's my house, get your own CECIL!!
The Highland is one of few animals whose hair is "alive" and home to many small insects, once removed by the root it becomes slightly toxic to smaller animals.
I've found dozens of nests around our house that are lined with clydesdale hair.
They are truly gentle giants. Looks fierce, but are so kind and calm.
That's Scotland for you. Fierce exterior but deep down we all just want a hug
Need eat me one of those
"No thinking, only exist.
There's noting fierce about that cow, he looks like a giant stuffed animal.
They remind me a lot of TX Longhorns in that way. Huuuuge animals, but a surprisingly docile disposition for the breed

The cow moved his horns in the opposite direction of the approaching man. Situational awareness and nice manners are excellent characteristics of a pet
He also turned during brushing to give him better access to the “good spot”🤣
In can see better when moving the head sideways. The cow looked to the approaching man. Makes more sense
@@Anudorini-Talah why not both?
I'm rehabbing a feral cat. She makes the same motion when I get close to present the section of her chin and neck she wants scratched the most. You know you're reaching them when the make little responses like this.
Or maybe she was like.. 'ugh... This dude again' 😂
4 out of 5 doctors recommend brushing a Scottish Highland "cow" for 10 minutes a day to lower blood pressure and get right with the world.
I’ve heard the same thing about cats. People with cats have lower blood pressure and live longer, because, by petting cats, he takes your negative ions away. Plus, everyone knows cations are not negative ions. 🤔
But 5 out of 5 Highland cows recommend it
it's also good for you!😜

This was an amazing and calming video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This would've perfectly fit in an "unintentional ASMR" playlist! 😁
We do have a few asmr videos
Yes🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@HamishandKyloe How did you get the Highland cows from Scotland to America?
Me: Had literally never heard of Highland cows before
Also me after seeing the title: "... but do highland cows make good pets tho?"
Yeh, but you need one heck of a bed for it to curl up on during the night.
Do they make good hamburgers?
@@kevinmael3862 Nah , but they're make good beef jerkey tho
@@desgildanphi8825 damn good beef jerky.
Theyre delicious
At the beauty salon having a good brushing and chewing his cud. 😂
Каков красавец ... Это просто совершенство, шедевр. Поздравляю вас с таким питомцем . Эти пропорции,цвет, рога, сильные ноги, спокойный характер - всё вызывает восхищение. Целовать его в этот замечательный нос!
согласен
The graphics on this Skyrim mod looks amazing
Everyone knows that Skyrim cows are the best pet ever. You can leave all of the cages open and they still stay in their pins, eating hay and grass all day.
Cringe
Rdr2
I somehow came from skyrim mod videos
Until a giant comes up and smashes your cow in the head unfortunately they're also pretty weak.
Haha of course they eat hay all day and stay in one place. They do the same thing at 3am when your up playing.
Your videos are so peaceful. They are helping me heal from the recent heartbreak of losing my beloved cat. Thank you for sharing the precious bonds you have with animals.
😔💞
hope u are doing ok
❤️🐈❤️🐈⬛❤️
yes ... get a giant bull to fill that hole in your heart
Your voice is so gentle and calming
he certainly looks happy and healthy ,,,,
So glad you touched on the bottle babies. Most of the time, you’ll see that they are less healthy, have behavior issues and don’t respect bounties
That why we have bounty hunters, so we can set those bottle baby's right.
You are 100% correct about bottle raised animals, especially the males. Bottle raised bulls are very dangerous, goats and sheep are both dangerous. A ram that was raised on a bottle by my neighbor destroyed his knee. You couldn't even walk in the pasture with him. The issue is because they were raised by humans they equate you as another bull, buck, or ram entering their territory and will act accordingly. A young bull will always challenge an older bull when the 2 are put in the same pen.
Good to know! Thanks!
How are goats and sheep dangerous?!
@@Crocs4cats When you aint looking
Dogs are the same way. I adopted an 8 month old puppy from a coworker who was abandoned at birth (the pup, not the coworker😅). I had 6 other dogs who, together, "removed" her from the pack (about a year after I brought her home) because she "didn't know the rules."
they say this about juvenile male elephants as well. It seems to go across many species. We also see this in the documentary 'Buck' and the problematic horse and its person.
That is one huge Highland, never seen one that enormous, gorgeous and well behaved. Thank you for sharing, enjoyed the talk.
Wow. What a big beauty in a such nice landscape. Happy cow❤
I met a baby once who was shy, so I slowly approached her and talked to her, with my side facing her. Then she sniffed me for a while, and once I could pet her, I started scratching. She LOVED it. She made all kinds of funny faces and stretched her head in weird directions, lol. Sooooo worth the patience.
that sounds like a weird baby
@@therealtony2009 lol 😂
That’s a beautiful animal!
Thank you
I've never heard a guy talk so much sense, very pleasing video to watch. Love how happy they are together too! ♥
I think these animals are beautiful.
what a magnificent creature! That has to be one of the coolest cows I've ever seen! And how lucky they are to have such a good caring owner :)
Thank you
@@HamishandKyloe i had weird question. Are there hermaphrodite cow bull's?
@@ppinmouth2649Most likely, definitely rare but possible
@@ppinmouth2649
Sick weirdo.
Oh they are something to see in person
*"You know, I'm something of a yak myself"*
Yakky!
Just saw the baby highland cow video and the baby is adorable just about cutest anamal I've ever seen
Truly majestic animal, thank you for that mindful talk and practice. Apparently Hamish loves you:)
Cheers 👋🏻
I was in Scotland in the late 80’s, and I watched a whole family of Highland cattle munch contentedly on thistle. And the baby was adorable!
Wherever you see thistle growing, it means the soil is good.
As a Scottish woman, I've always loved them. Grew up seeing them.
We love our Highlands in the UK 💕 my bf is half Scottish and we have a Highland cow pillow on our sofa ✨
What a beautiful, majestic creature.
"You're gonna fence, you're gonna need shelter."
You're gonna need a bigger comb!
Muffled Laughter. & really cool animal.
I had a friend with highlands. He raised them on a hobby farm. I was shocked to learn how gentle these animals were.
When it was time to send his highlands away, Bob wept.
Gigantic humans are usually very docile too.
When you're too big to f*** with, you have no need to be aggressive.
Yes that is why bears are so docile.
@@tradtke101 I've heard that tigers are so famously docile for that very reason!
@@d.jparer5184 the hippopotamus is another notoriously tame example!
@@djarbeebo6023 I am literally sitting next to my pet hippopotamus right now. He is curled up on a giant lily pad reading "James and the Giant Peach." As docile as they come.
#TrueFacts
Wow what a magnificent looking animal
This was oddly one of the most relaxing videos I've ever watched
very true
Yeah, so peaceful...
Right?!
He’s a beauty! I find them to be such a majestic looking breed.
As a Scot, I feel so proud that I share a homeland with these animals. Need cheering up - look at pictures of Highland cattle.
Our brains are so fascinating. I can look at this cow and just be happy. It's shape, cuteness, and color is visually pleasing and retains my interest. Obviously your advice is engaging, but it's funny to me how I could happily just sit there and look at a cow doing nothing on my computer screen and not feel I'm wasting my life. Thanks for this!
I love Scottish Highlands. They are so cute with their bangs. They look like they are not looking at you,their babies are adorable!
This takes me back 50 years. Always happy memories of grooming the farms highland bull.They always seemed to enjoy the brushing. And very relaxing work for me.
Happy days they were.
Ein wundervolles schönes Tier. Wir sollten sie verwöhnen und lieb haben!
this animal is so chill. fully connected to the earth
I just lost my boy 2 weeks ago.Man I miss my old bull buddy.That’s a beautiful cow you have.Look at how tame he is.❤
Sorry to hear that
My auntie had a Highland bull named Hamish as well but he was most certainly NOT a good boi like yours.
He was quite literally a killer and a danger to everybody if he ever got out of the paddock. If you were female/child, in his paddock and didn't cause trouble, you were actually quite safe. A man? Nope, he'll run you down and make sure you were taken off the census. Hamish out of his paddock? Everybody is a target.
Remember folks, as lovely and docile as highlands are, not all of them are as delightful as this Hamish. Never approach any livestock you don't know.
Thanks for the tip.
Good info
"Taken off the census..." You're a Hood Nature fan, I see.
@@slappy8941 All the best people are, my friend.
wow what a wonderful story very positive.
The Scotch Highland remains on page one with me. As a Domestic cattle breed, they require the least attention, are highly resilient to harsh weather, and more.
The Scottish Highlands 🏴👍🤣
I love watching him chew!
Glad to see youre both doing well
Thank you
I wish the people that gave a thumbs down would give a reason why they did.
They are just miserable people. They probably hate cookies too. 😕
Vegans or PETA fanatics.
@@cappyjones I was in home economics and was put in a group with someone who said they hated all desserts. When we were assigned to create a dessert as a group project.
I still remember that a million years later.
It should have been the best assignment ever, to literally bake a dessert and eat it in class and instead was a miserable experience. Because one person was the biggest stick in the mud you’ve ever met and complained the whole time.
@@narnia1233 They are probably a serial killer now. 😁
@@cappyjones lol, no, but apparently she’s married and lives in California and has kids now. Apparently her husband doesn’t like food. Poor kids too, lol.
