Somewhere nearby there's a really warm bird's nest made of Highland hair
Haha! How cute!
Lol, I was thinking the same!
yeah it's my house, get your own CECIL!!
The Highland is one of few animals whose hair is "alive" and home to many small insects, once removed by the root it becomes slightly toxic to smaller animals.
I've found dozens of nests around our house that are lined with clydesdale hair.
Wasn't planning on watching a man brush a highland bull for 8 minutes when I woke up today, but here I am.
Same here I’m just waiting for my chicken steaks to cook in the oven but here I am lol
He said it was a steer, not a bull
😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯
@@cfrost87 yeah , , , , he got no balls . Call them 'bullochs' in Scotland .
God bless America
They are truly gentle giants. Looks fierce, but are so kind and calm.
That's Scotland for you. Fierce exterior but deep down we all just want a hug
Need eat me one of those
"No thinking, only exist.
There's noting fierce about that cow, he looks like a giant stuffed animal.
@@bobbymoss6160 cow? where is cow in this video?
Cows are nothing but big dogs, they are teachable, and show love. My dad gave me a calf, I was 7 years old. She became my playmate, she would kick a ball around with me, she would get next to the fence so I could get on her back. I’d brush her, hug her and lay on her. I know you think I’m weird for saying this but I truly miss her.
Not weird at all. Many animals are capable of not being the "normal" kind, and are instead very caring and affectionate to a person. It is great to have such a bond.
Dude I live in Florida people cuddle alligators your good
You’re not weard bro.
Weird?oh no.
Lol you arent weird
4 out of 5 doctors recommend brushing a Scottish Highland "cow" for 10 minutes a day to lower blood pressure and get right with the world.
I’ve heard the same thing about cats. People with cats have lower blood pressure and live longer, because, by petting cats, he takes your negative ions away. Plus, everyone knows cations are not negative ions. 🤔
But 5 out of 5 Highland cows recommend it
it's also good for you!😜

Ha !
The cow moved his horns in the opposite direction of the approaching man. Situational awareness and nice manners are excellent characteristics of a pet
He also turned during brushing to give him better access to the “good spot”🤣
In can see better when moving the head sideways. The cow looked to the approaching man. Makes more sense
@@Anudorini-Talah why not both?
I'm rehabbing a feral cat. She makes the same motion when I get close to present the section of her chin and neck she wants scratched the most. You know you're reaching them when the make little responses like this.
Or maybe she was like.. 'ugh... This dude again' 😂
Loved watching Hamish just chewing with his eyes closed. He really was enjoying his brushing.
All I can say Mark, is that Hamish is a magnificent animal and he seems to be very pleased to have you on his staff.
Dad: *doesn't want overgrown horned golden retriever*
Family: *gets overgrown horned golden retriever anyway*
Dad and the dog:

#bestcomment
thats one of the best things I've read in a long time
Big horns big piles of shit and big appetite
My thoughts xD
“If you’re getting one then….” never crossed my mind to get a 4,000 pound pet, but if it did, that’s the one I’d get.
He's only 2,000lbs
@@HamishandKyloe Not when he stands on your foot, he isn't. Lol.
@@HamishandKyloe "ONLY" lol! Have a great day yall
I'd say it's a tough choice between this and a draft horse, both of which can get to be about 2,000 pounds. 4,000 would be two cattle, or two horses. If you want something closer to 4,000, there's the hippopotamus, but I wouldn't recommend those as pets. XD
4000 pounds is expensive for a pet
Hamish looks to be happy with being brushed. 🥰❤️😍
❤😊💕
He has better awareness than the kids at work 😂 I'd let him in to the library with such good manners
This bull is stunning, like something out of a fairy tale. Its coat absolutely glows. It's a gentle giant but I wouldn't want to be on the business end of those horns.
My first impression was that the cow was fake.
It's not a cow! He's a bull. Although the cows and heifers also have horns!
@@sharonmoore7493 Relax 1:08
I work with a bunch of farm animals including steers and tbh I'd prefer those giant horns to the stubby and sharp horns that some steers have. cows like to bash each other (and you) with their heads as a form of communication and I'd rather have a concussion than a really nasty and possibly fatal puncture wound lol
@@sharonmoore7493
Steer.
Only in Scotland's Highlands, where even the cows are ginger.
Yeeee you're confusing with Ireland
@@loicolivier4842 a higher percentage of Scottish people have red hair actually
Auburn lol
So, Cartman wasn't bullshitting after all.
@@trollof229antthevariable9 I've noticed that British people and American's have two separate standards for the differences between Auburn and Ginger. Seems like that kinda situation.
The cow is more gentle and well behaved than most of the house pets. What a gorgeous looking cow.
What an absolutely majestic set of horns
He's like the Bob Ross of cattle ranchers. His voice is so soothing and I just love how he calmly explains the importance of respecting highland cattle for what they are, not the cute cuddly pets people want them to be, and all the work that goes into caring for them while he brushes Hamish.
true!!!!!
He’s undeniably cute, and cuddly though!
Awwww, thanks!...but uhhh, what about the cow?
@hamishandkhloe Oh he's the most beautiful cow I've ever seen! I want one or two! But I don't have a farm or field big enough. 😔 Maybe one day though!
@@HamishandKyloe hahaha
Hamish standing there calmly chewing as he gets brushed is about as zen as something could be.
You wrote my comment! I was gonna write how meditative it was to see this, but you expressed it much better!!!😊
I wonder that did he chew, that thing lasts forever :D.
@@egertkanep7282 It is called chewing the cud!
Its dead ass like some ASMR
Poor steer getting called cow.
I could listen to this guy talk for hours, something so peaceful about his voice
The ladies must really like him after a good brushing 😁👍☮️🇨🇦
..
Can’t get over how absolutely massive Hamish is, what an amazing animal
I second that...huge!
Highlanders are not really that big...Bulls tend to be about 1600-1800 pounds and cows tend to be 1100 to 1300 pounds. They are compact cattle. At least my parents Highlanders grew to that size.
@@ethanrepine8862 Yeah, I just replied to another comment saying that Hamish looks like the largest highland cattle I've ever seen. The ones I've encountered in real life tend to be much more short in stature.
It’s cool how cattle with long horns like this know precisely where the tips of their horns are - kind of like we do with our fingertips.
Except you can feel and move your fingertips. A greater analogy would be how a person with long nails gets used to them and knows how to hold things and do things with them without a problem, or scratch without being too intense and getting hurt, etc
Fingernails dont have nerve endings...Horns do
@@HamishandKyloe wow didn’t not that, u learn something new every day on the internet
@@ebroz3886 bruhhhh
@@HamishandKyloe I was the Mascot for the University of Texas - a Longhorn. The mascot helmet had very wide horns - just wider than a doorway - so I got to learn where they were pretty quick, and tricks like hanging hats or bags on them, or nudging people with them, even though they were completely out of sight.
I bet nerve endings would have made that easier to learn, but I'll skip for now
He was just standing there & chewing. What a good boy
Beautiful animal with so much calmness ❤❤❤❤
Looks like some type of prehistoric beast with that set of horns.
Kind of resembles an Aurochs.
@@indoorsandout3022 bit smaller
@@wierdalien1 Yeah, I mean these guys look like Snuffy and a Musk Ox had a lovechild.
Wooly mammoth
The most beautiful beasties in the world. Hugs and kisses for Hamish.
I want a 700 hundred pound cow to jump in my lap.
@@aaahhhchew8028 I’ll relay the message to your mother.
I’m jk. Couldn’t resist lol
Yes, I keep saying how good God is by creating such big and beautiful animals.
the most? really?
of all the animals?
you can't be serious
My cousin raises these in Pennsylvania. One day I went to visit him. I called him on the phone he said he was down at the birthing field. I got to video one being born. What a treat. I've been out to help him feed them a couple times and it was a fun experience. They are a beautiful animal.
At the beauty salon having a good brushing and chewing his cud. 😂
We had highland cows for several years. They are loving and sweet and very docile. Our bull, Big Red, would take an apple from a child's hand in the gentlest of ways.
Why’s you guys stop raising them?
@@ordinarypete we had to move cross-country for a few years so we gave them to a local historical farm, where they have continued to thrive/breed. Big Red is in bull heaven though.
Big red sounds like a really loving fella. May he have all the apples of bull heaven!
I once pulled a Japanese tourist away from getting stabbed by a Highland Bull in Scotland, not docile all the time, they horns are there for a reason.
we should never kill them..cute animals
He's just standing there all calm, cool, and collected like he's at a health spa. That's a damn good looking animal, clearly loves his life as well.
somebody should tell him chewing tobacco is a nasty habit
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ nah im loyal to my buddist homies
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ sorry but, who asked?
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Amen brother! Keep preaching!

I've never seen you before but Sir you are the kind of man we need more of in this world. Keep being kind to animals you are awesome!
Amen to that sir.
What a handsome boy!!! And so calm!!
If Hamish was a cat he'd be purring, lol. He's loving the brushing. ❤️ 😍
He does purr… which I highlighted in a couple of our older videos 🙂
@@HamishandKyloe awwww. So beautiful.
Trabajé con estos animales de raza, y los terneros recién nacidos de esta especie eran los únicos que podían pasar debajo de las alambradas electrificadas pues el contacto de su pelaje espeso con con los alambres evitaban que se electrificaran(lana) .
Did you not see the purring video?
He be chilling, relaxing even
As someone from the Highlands, that is a VERY big Highland steer. Looks scarier than usual but they’re still just real friendly fellas, love em.
Yeah, he is a little bit bigger boned than your average Highland lol
How lucky is Hamish to have such a caring handler. How blessed we are to have a world full of animals❤❤❤
Beautiful highlander you have there! In the netherlands they live in the national parks to control the vegetation levels. There are multiple herds and it's a beautiful sight
Hamish living the dream life
😎🤙
hamish IS the dream.
My uncle used to have Highland cows. His prized one was a steer named Cougar. Pitch black with huge horns, and absolutely enormous. He was the BIGGEST baby. He would have crawled up into my lap if he could've. They truly are an amazing breed and I'm lucky to say I grew up with them 💛
Glad to hear my dear!
I wish that I did. So adorable!
Me gusta mucho!!
How do they taste?
@@SilverPaladin No clue. Been a vegetarian for over 18 years now.
I have only had one experience with 1 of these Highlands on a educational farm, it literally made all the other animals who behaved completely normal look like assholes in comparison . These creatures are fantastic and from my experience very kid friendly.
This was an amazing and calming video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish more people realised just how lovely cows can be and that they really should be treated better. I think Hamish is very lucky to have you!
Edit: damn it's been 1 year and people are STILL arguing and getting mad over nothing lol
@@yourdad5799 It's such a shame that suggesting people buy free-range meat is seen as "hippie" or whatever. It's just... a nice thing to do. The people that produce that stuff deserve your hard-earned money for trying to provide a product without being cruel to the animals. I mean the actual people that care about this stuff, and not just corporations that use the label "cruelty free" while doing the bare minimum to be classified as such.
The only issue is that it's more expensive, which is a valid reason to not go for it... but people should still try, when they get the chance.
@@sarahbelle81 I buy "cruelty free" meat if I have the money but yea it's expensive
@@yourdad5799 Would you eat human flesh too, just because that's tasty?? Really??
I think you should develop more compassion, mere than just being slave to your stupid taste buds!!
@@sarahbelle81 exactly it's healthier, sustainable and not cruel and unethical. Will you eat less meat? Probably, but you also probably don't need to eat as much of if. It will also force you to consume less noble cuts and parts of the cow we sometimes think are disgusting (heart, liver, etc) which adds to the overall efficiency, nutrition, The problem is that the government does not implemente the real price of meat to keep the industry of food processing making huge profits. Government also needs to correct the low salary/high profits otherwise people will stop consuming meat which may lead to serious health consequences.
Yes Lewis Hamilton is vegan and so are many many famous people... but he is worth £300 million and has the best specialists in the world crafting an extremely complex varied diet personalised to his taste, physiology, genetics and needs while monitoring numerous parameters to maximise health, well-being and performance. He also has people who plan, shop for ingredients and prepare his meals. BUT, sometimes people get carried away and cannot see the bigger picture...all in all is this diet that better in terms of sustainability and environment? Is the huge amounts of money Lewis spends on his diet while others can't that ethical and significant for the whole picture???, money that he makes from being a pilot for over 14 years of polluting ICE's open wheel racing championship that whitewashes and runs ads of polluting and criminal states and personalities; money that he makes from advertisements and sponsorships for highly unethical and polluting corporations; money that he earns because other people are kept poor buying up the shit he sells either directly (adverts) and indirectly (sponsorships to him, his team and the championship); money that he partially hides in tax havens. This is just Lewis, maybe the most ethical and conscientious of the bunch.
Normal people don't have the time, knowledge and capital to ensure a healthy vegan diet. Those who go vegan find it extremely hard because not only you are extremely limited in what you can eat, you have to have a lot of certain foods to get specific macronutrients. Most end up eating highly processed expensive vegan food and taking various expensive supplements. Not even mentioning intolerances and personal taste/circumstances. Is a processed food and supplements based diet that good for someone? Especially a likely nutrient deficient uncontrolled one?! Is it that ethical, unpolluting and sustainable after all?? What about habitats that are obliterated to cultivate monocultures for supplements and the vegan industry?
@@yourdad5799 it might Taste good but ull get cancer eventually due to hormones and such
Hamish is just vibing and relaxing while he gets his hair brushed
I won’t lie, was not expecting the American southern accent on this gentleman when the topic is the Highland Coo 😅 Greetings from Scotland to you and beautiful Hamish.
What accent?
Im just in awe, what a beatiful animal this is. Cattles in generell are so underrated Animals because most ppl just get in touch with these kind of animals when visiting a steakhouse or Mcdonals yet there very handsome and have a much higher social inteligence than what ppl would think.
He just eating and getting stroked. This is the life… lmao. He looks pretty clean
Poor choice of words
@@cuntsinaction2212 I agree that is over the top.
@@cuntsinaction2212 lmfao I was late to saying it.
Do Highland cattle make good pets? Hamish - "let me ruminate on that"
Nice one haha
In a deep, cinematic voice
I have no idea how I found myself here but I'm just gobsmacked by this magnificent, majestic, beautiful specimen.
Hamish is a good looking boy, too.
Thank you
Idk why this was so utterly relaxing, thank you Sir and to your magnificent cow ❤
You said utter
I think I saw Hamish roll his eyes when you called him a cow.
Oh my goodness! I thought the same thing
Hamish gets better looking every day x
Каков красавец ... Это просто совершенство, шедевр. Поздравляю вас с таким питомцем . Эти пропорции,цвет, рога, сильные ноги, спокойный характер - всё вызывает восхищение. Целовать его в этот замечательный нос!
согласен
Love the public service announcement and advocacy for both kindness and safety.
i love how hamish is just chewing while getting a grooming
I love how Hamish's chewing is in sync with the brushing.
Sometimes, when his dad stopped talking, Hamish stopped chewing until dad spoke again.
@@boston_octopus Lmao so cute
Chewing the cud
Lmao! yer right holy cow haha.
Can’t Unsee this
they are beautiful animals, i used to ride my horse past a paddock that had 2 of these beautiful animals, they used to always come up to say hello to myself and my horse, never attempted to touch any of them ever, when you dont know an animal personally you dont take risks, Hamish is awsome, i enjoyed the video and agree with you 100%, i am from Australia in the state of victoria, i grew up in kinglake as a child, in the bush on a mountin, farm land .one of our horses lived to 44 years old, we bought him when he was 14, most people remember him, so many learnt to ride on him, thanks again, take care stay safe xoxoxo
As a Scotsman, it’s clearly a highland coo, and a beautiful one 👍🏻🏴
Yeah no crap it’s in the title
@@hippo4262 there’s people in the comments arguing whether it’s a cow or not.

its crazy how animals can look so intimidating but be so docile and chill
just evolution for the most part they have grown to be docile to us because we keep them safe until we eat them :D you could say it's a toxic relationship
A magnificent creature. 💯

@@HamishandKyloe How did you get the Highland cows from Scotland to America?
That’s a beautiful animal!
Thank you
I am 48 and i've never seen a cow like that. that's amazing.
Truly majestic animal, thank you for that mindful talk and practice. Apparently Hamish loves you:)
Cheers 👋🏻
You are 100% correct about bottle raised animals, especially the males. Bottle raised bulls are very dangerous, goats and sheep are both dangerous. A ram that was raised on a bottle by my neighbor destroyed his knee. You couldn't even walk in the pasture with him. The issue is because they were raised by humans they equate you as another bull, buck, or ram entering their territory and will act accordingly. A young bull will always challenge an older bull when the 2 are put in the same pen.
Good to know! Thanks!
How are goats and sheep dangerous?!
@@Crocs4cats When you aint looking
Dogs are the same way. I adopted an 8 month old puppy from a coworker who was abandoned at birth (the pup, not the coworker😅). I had 6 other dogs who, together, "removed" her from the pack (about a year after I brought her home) because she "didn't know the rules."
they say this about juvenile male elephants as well. It seems to go across many species. We also see this in the documentary 'Buck' and the problematic horse and its person.
what a magnificent creature! That has to be one of the coolest cows I've ever seen! And how lucky they are to have such a good caring owner :)
Thank you
@@HamishandKyloe i had weird question. Are there hermaphrodite cow bull's?
@@ppinmouth2649Most likely, definitely rare but possible
@@ppinmouth2649
Sick weirdo.
Oh they are something to see in person
That is one huge Highland, never seen one that enormous, gorgeous and well behaved. Thank you for sharing, enjoyed the talk.
Such a beautiful boy! He's also an absolute unit, just like any big male cow (bull) should be! I just wanna give the big lug a hug
My auntie had a Highland bull named Hamish as well but he was most certainly NOT a good boi like yours.
He was quite literally a killer and a danger to everybody if he ever got out of the paddock. If you were female/child, in his paddock and didn't cause trouble, you were actually quite safe. A man? Nope, he'll run you down and make sure you were taken off the census. Hamish out of his paddock? Everybody is a target.
Remember folks, as lovely and docile as highlands are, not all of them are as delightful as this Hamish. Never approach any livestock you don't know.
Thanks for the tip.
Good info
"Taken off the census..." You're a Hood Nature fan, I see.

hope u are doing ok
❤️🐈❤️🐈⬛❤️
yes ... get a giant bull to fill that hole in your heart
Just saw the baby highland cow video and the baby is adorable just about cutest anamal I've ever seen
The graphics on this Skyrim mod looks amazing
Everyone knows that Skyrim cows are the best pet ever. You can leave all of the cages open and they still stay in their pins, eating hay and grass all day.
Cringe
Rdr2
I somehow came from skyrim mod videos
Until a giant comes up and smashes your cow in the head unfortunately they're also pretty weak.
Haha of course they eat hay all day and stay in one place. They do the same thing at 3am when your up playing.
I was in Scotland in the late 80’s, and I watched a whole family of Highland cattle munch contentedly on thistle. And the baby was adorable!
Wherever you see thistle growing, it means the soil is good.
I have a big framed print in my living room of these gorgeous highland cows. I stare at it all the time. Like looking at a unicorn. Love them ❤
We love our Highlands in the UK 💕 my bf is half Scottish and we have a Highland cow pillow on our sofa ✨
As a Scottish woman, I've always loved them. Grew up seeing them.
So glad you touched on the bottle babies. Most of the time, you’ll see that they are less healthy, have behavior issues and don’t respect bounties
That why we have bounty hunters, so we can set those bottle baby's right.
What a beautiful, majestic creature.
This is so beautiful. Thank you for all you do. 🧡
Thank you so much!
This takes me back 50 years. Always happy memories of grooming the farms highland bull.They always seemed to enjoy the brushing. And very relaxing work for me.
Happy days they were.
Glad to see youre both doing well

Theres a small farm near my parents place- I'm from Michigan, and some of the woods are gorgeous, but theres a lot of swamp and area that isn't great for *most* cattle. They do, however, have a number of Highland Cows, and it's always nice to see them on the hill by the road. On the couple of occasions they did get out, they were incredibly docile- they were standing in the middle in the road at night, and I walked up to the farmhouse, knocked on the door, explained the situation, and the people there got them rounded up without a fuss. Gorgeous things!
