... the Scottish Highland Cattle are raised for their meat...
... and look well suited for cooooold weather, maybe even happy in the cold...
... they have long fur which perhaps could be cut in the summer for its "wool" value...
... and grown back by winter for its warmth...
... some better photos from the internet:
