Hamis The Hairy Coo - Scottish Cows

In Scotland, cows are called "coo's" instead of your standard cow. Some of the cows are also hairy or long hair breed. Supposedly the story goes, long ago that a farmer one day wanted to impress his wife with a new variety of cow that would actually last through the long winters. He crossed a standard Herford cow, common here in the states with a longer haired smaller cow over there. Result a hairy coo that could withstand the incredibly cold winters. This picture always gives me a smile, it was quite hilarious to see our guide Chris feed the coo with a carrot in his mouth. It was also rather gross too, cause these coo's don't smell like roses.
