I just started a Scottish Highland (for my own experience-not a customer) and man am I glad it's winter.I can see my breath in my shop-decided to keep the stove cold, figuring Id have her out a while.What a beautiful animal!The hair patterns are crazy.I drew out a sort of schematic with measurements and reference points of where the patterns begin and end and had close to 100 measurements.The hide is not that thick on the neck and shoulders but on the head it is incredibly thick.She was a very fine registered specimen with very nice, long, even horns.I took a zillion photos the day before she was butchered.
I understand there is a Brahma video out there and would like to buy one.
I would like to hear comments and suggestions from anyone who has actually done a Scottish or something of the bovine ilk._I fear I will end up with a pile of forms cut into pieces .I can see Steer in there,but also see old world as well.The nose and mouth look musk ox-ish to me (very wide nose ) forhead and eyes look Bison-ish..It has a very ice-age look.
I'm very excited to be trying this and want advice.. yes I am still the novice and dont need you to whiz in my cornflakes about it.
