  1. These are beautiful, Bob! I follow a blog in Nova Scotia that raises these cattle. They are the COOLEST! And their calves are nothing short of adorable. :)

  3. A rancher in NE Oregon has a herd of these; earlier this spring, I photographed bulls of four different colors.

  7. Definitely the strangest looking cattle I've ever seen! Sort of reminds me of the first time Sam and I came across a llama when we were out shooting. Sam had that look on his face that said "What kind of dog are you?"

  8. I love these cattle. Beautiful creatures. I often wonder if they are all as docile as the ones I've met. Love that second last shot!

  10. Beautiful beasts of burden. There is a pet farm on the other side of our county, and they have one of these. Great images!

  12. They really are very impressive Bob. They look quite fierce but I see that Adrian says they are gentle giants.

  14. If you didn't know they were so good-natured, you'd be tempted to turn and flee...nice to know life of such ancient origins and mien still thrives.
