Scottish Highland cattle - the same breed that Queen Elizabeth II owns - will be on display at the
National Western Stock Show in Denver Jan. 23-25.

Dating back to the 12th century, the breed is one of the oldest and hardiest in the world. Originally
there were two distinct classes of Scottish cattle - the slightly smaller and usually black Kyloe, found on
the islands off the west coast of northern Scotland, and a larger reddish colored animal found in the
remote Highlands. Today both strains are considered one breed. In addition to the red and black
colors, yellow, dun and silver-white are considered traditional coloring for the breed.

Despite their long horns, the Highlands are very docile and are easily halter broken.

Long har protect them from the cold and keeps them from developing an extra layer of fat that most
other breeds have. This these animals offer very lean cuts of meat.
