Description
One of a small herd of cattle belonging to a neighbor up the road. Actually, it's only three - so does that qualify as a herd? Some of the definitions I found online specify a "large" group of animals, but others don't - like this one:
"A group of cattle or other domestic animals of a single kind kept together for a specific purpose."
Anyway, I liked the look of their shaggy coats...
Please zoom.

A superb hairy animal and an excellent portrait!
Wonderful capture
How lovely! It looks like our Highland breed
Such a cool looking creature.
they are so impressive !
Very nice! Under normal use of the term a herd is any number of animals of a single kind that keep or are kept together... so as long as there's more than one it could technically be called a herd. However, I am sure that various beaucratic governmental entities have it defined in some ways that require reading many documents full of circuitous subsections and conflicting legaleese to determine if its a herd ;)
Very very beautiful shot !!!
This is definitely a 'Highland' and native of Scotland.
Great capture of this Highland Long-horn!
Aye, mon, sure and it's of the Highland clan. Great colors, lighting and effects in this great pic of the shaggy beastie, in dire need of a shearing.
Fantastic look!
Beautiful coat - but don't get too close with those horns!!!
I love these highland "coos"...so much personality! Driving around Scotland they were everywhere, and very inquisitive...beautiful shot!
Visiting from Scotland - I do like the shaggy look!
