When thinking about fluffy cute animals, we might imagine a kitty, a fox, or even a panda. There is, however, a breed of fluffy cows whose babies are as adorable and as heart-melting as other baby animals mentioned above—the Scottish Highland calf.

Let’s introduce the cutest cows, the Highland calves! This Scottish long-haired cow breed stands out from the rest because of its luxurious coats. The fine double fur consists of an oily outer layer—the longest of any cattle breed—and a downy undercoat. This feature makes the Highland cow calf ideally suited to harsh weather conditions in Scotland, where heavy rains and strong winds are frequent. It also means that Scottish baby Highland cows are the cutest little moos ever! 

Bored Panda has compiled a list of these irresistible fluffy baby cows you’ll definitely feel the urge to cow-ddle! Scroll down to enjoy the pictures and vote for your favorite ones!

This is one of the cutest calves I've ever seen. I've seen Highland Cattle in the adult form but never these adorable little ones. Oh wouldn't it be wonderful to have some here in Maine

I found the Omaha Steak ad rather offensive above the baby cow pics

This is what I showed my family members while we sat down to a nice meal of veal.

This didn’t make me happy because I looked at them when eating veal.

When an animal sticks out its tongue like that I always say "derp". No idea why. But he's so cute and fluffy. Adorable "derp".

This is why I stopped eating meat. We see the cuteness, innocence of the babies. But we are blind to what happens to them, what their purpose is. "Outstanding Beef Quality: Unlike other breeds, Highlands are slow maturing making the meat tender, flavorful and succulent. In a study at Manyberries Research Station, Canada, groups of Hereford, Highland and Highland/Hereford crosses were tested. The Highland group produced 2000 pounds more beef than the Herefords. The Highland/Hereford crosses produced 6000 pounds more than the purebred Hereford group." https://www.highlandcattleusa.org/viewarticle.aspx...

How many of you, who smile at these beautiful animals, pay for them to be murdered?

Cute Calves In Every Color

JaderBug12 Report

Fluffy Highland Cows Are Farm Animals, Not Pets

The Highland cow-calf, or “mini moo-moo,” charms everyone with its small size, cute face, and playful behavior. While highland calves are adorable, caring for them requires careful attention to nutrition, health, and growth. Despite the appeal of having a Highland calf, it’s essential to consider their needs for space, care, and dedication. Hence, these cute baby cows should be treated as farm animals, not pets. 

Additionally, the Highland cow baby should not be confused with the miniature Himalayan cow, as they belong to distinct breeds with unique characteristics and origins.

Just in case anyone gets the cute idea of trying to pet those little cuties just think about their "bodyguards" and the damage they can do.
