From the Northwest part of the Scottish Highlands comes one of the oldest and possibly purest breeds of cattle known today. Scottish Highlands were first brought to the USA in the second half of the 19th century and are the oldest registered breed in this country.
Even though Highlands have long \"handlebar\" horns they are even tempered, and like many of the ancient breeds they do not stress easily. They have a higher intelligence than many modern breeds of cattle and are easily halter trained.
