This cow has long hair that effectively protects it from the cold. Its coat is most often red, but it can also be white, yellow, fawn, black and white, or even piebald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of its ancient origins, this breed has been used to reconstruct the aurochs, the prehistoric ancestor of domestic cows.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Scottish cattle aren\u2019t picky eaters. They eat all kinds of plants, even the toughest ones. They are therefore used to clear and maintain certain natural areas and to prevent wet meadows from disappearing after being overtaken by forest.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n
