Field Notes

Description:

A breed from Scotland with large horns and long wavy coat. They are popular in Australia.

Habitat:

These retired animals are free ranging on the "St Albans Common" NSW and are owned by my friend.

Notes:

I believe the pied red is a cow and the other two are bulls.

Yes, its mild in Sydney compared with their home country.

I'm guessing the weather is pretty warm where these guys live - they have far less hair than their Scottish cousins that I've come across

Thanks Argy Bee. These are rather curious creatures and they asked to be photographed :)

Nice shots Martin. Looks like they were very co-operative.
