..and anyone else who's interested
Been to see this little boy today and I'm going to buy him. He's just 2years old so still has a good bit of growing to do. He's very gentle and likes having his face stroked and back scratched. One horn is slightly shorter on one side but thats not a problem and could well improve as he grows
What do you think Nonie?

No suz, he will be THE bull. I haven't said anything before but my lovely Nevis jumped a high gate last September and injured his liver. We nursed him all through the winter with lots of help from our vets and we thought he showed a little improvement and had turned the corner. But OH found him dead early one morning a few weeks ago.
The new little boy is called Ninian  |

Jan I'm so sorry I know what its like lossing a truely good bull, But that beast looks like a honest highland. How many months is he? to be honest I like a animal who is good on the eye but temper is very important as well and I think he could have both properties. hows your season goin?
good luck

well Jan, he looks great, I am so pleased for you after your sad loss, I really like highlands, see a lot of them on the Island, if I was having a Bull it wood be a highland,
we have a friend who bought his wife a Highland bull and cow for her birthday (he was the stock-man so I think it was for him really) |
