The Scottish Highland Cow stays with "bangs"

[Global Times Special Reporter Wang Haozhe] Recently, there have been reports that in order to stay away from the epidemic, more and more Australians move from cities to rural cattle, and Scotland's "high bull" has become their favorite. In recent years, this cattle has become an Internet celebrity with its super cute appearance in recent years. Many holiday places will buy a few highlands to attract tourists.

Highland Niu was originally produced in the Scottish Highlands and is also known as the "gentle giant" of Scotland. They have a huge body and strong body. The most distinctive thing is that the forehead is like bangs' long hair, often covering the eyes. They have long horns and wearing long hair on their heads. This long hair is rich in fat. It can prevent wind and rain in winter, and it can prevent the invasion of flying insects in summer. With this thick "sweater", the highland cows are not afraid even if they encounter heavy wind and rain. The reason why they could survive in the strongly weather and islands on the severe weather. The large -scale high -land cattle have four "small short legs". It is said that this body ratio is to adapt to the cold climate and rugged terrain of the highland. Don't look at the highland cow is a big head, but their character is very docile, so many farms have launched projects taking photos with Gao Di Niu.

Highland cattle are reddish, black, yellow, but most of them are currently reddish brown. It is said that this was because the Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom liked red -brown high -grade cattle at that time. In order to please the queen, the Scotes intended to choose this color of cattle, so there were fewer and fewer other colors.

For a long time, Gao Di Cow is the main force of Su Langer Farm to provide people with milk, meat and fur. They have a strong tolerance for the environment. Even if the environment is bad and bad, it does not affect their meat and milk. For hundreds of years, people have used the horn of highlands to make water. Excellent warmth can also be used as tents, making boots, bags, belts and saddle. Because there is no additional layer of fat to keep warm, the content of meat and cholesterol in high ground beef is not high, but the content of iron and protein is higher than other cows. It is said that the Queen of England especially likes to eat high ground beef.

Highland cattle have a long history, and scientists speculate that they are descendants of European bulls. When the Binghe Century was not over yet, European bulls came to the UK, but after that, because the glacier melted and the sea level rose, they could no longer go back. As the habitat slowly decreased, human hunting activities began to increase. These European Europe Bulls had to migrate to Scotland, and then they were slowly domesticated by humans. Another point of view is that highland cattle are new varieties generated after mating between cows brought by immigrants with local cattle.

The Queen of Britain likes high land cattle. It is said that the Queen is still sponsored by the Highland Bull Association, which was founded in 1884. The Balmora Castle, located in Scotland, is a favorite resort in the British Queen. Queen Victoria and her husband first favored them when they visited here. During her reign, she personally designed and built the royal hunting ground here, and she also raised high bulls here.

It can be seen not only in Scottish, but also in Europe, in Europe, North America, Australia and other places. The farmer found that the highland cow can make the grassland better because they eat old wooden plants and promote the growth of grass.

Nowadays, high -duty cows have become animals endorsed by Scotland. An important travel experience in Scotland is to visit cute high -duty cows. In some local tourist souvenirs stores, tourists can see various high -land cows postcards and dolls, and even the local coffee flowers are made into the shape of high diuretic cattle (as shown in the top left). Last year, in order to seize the business opportunities of the Spring Festival of the Chinese New Year, British merchants and brands have launched limited products of the Spring Festival of the Bull. Among them, Edinburgh Castle launched a series of Scottish highlands cow souvenirs.
