Those are some neat cattle, and they do have that medieval look about them. But they'd probably have a hard time down here in South. We've got Dexter's and they seem to handle heat pretty well.

My Dexter bull, Brenn, bred a Highland cow. The calf is cute as a button. It's just about a year old and is a lot smaller than it's mama. It has a long coat like a Highland, but is black. Her horns have just begun to grow, so we don't know whether she'll have the little short Dexter horns or the longer Highland horns.

Dexter beef won a "Great Chef" contest in England. It was judged to be the best tasting beef. I've heard that Highland beef is pretty good, too. All of Brenn's beef calves so far have drawn raves. This Dexter/Highland should be interesting.

She's for sale, in case you're interested.
