Meet Lachland. He is 10 months old and is still being nurtured by his mother. She was not around when I got down on my hands and knees to get this close up shot :)
Highland cattle are very hardy and they have a double coat of hair - a downy undercoat and a long outer coat which is oiled to shed rain and snow. His coat was beautifully soft and warm from the sunshine he was basking in.
Canon 450D. Thanks for viewing, comments always appreciated.

Our integrity sells for so little, but it's all we really have. It's the very last inch of us and within that inch, we are free. -V

Just read this morning in the paper that a farmer's wife was killed by two highlander cows! So you were wise to avoid the mother cow. Nice shot of the young one Lyn.
