The horse is called Baron, do not know the names of the cows.

Very nice series. I love the first one of the cow. That thing just seems to have a ton of personality in that shot!

I've never seen highland cows...very interesting. I especially like your last shot as the dark colors of the horse's neck fade into the background, thus emphasizing the head.

Yes, they are great, I call them furry cows.

I think the cows are beautiful. There was only one horse in the stable on the day we were there and it was if he was posing.

Whether its ancient castles or pan pipers in the city centre, refelctions in the glass buildings or Dr Whos Tardis, everything gets the same care, and attention to detail.
Your pictures are wonderful Bill and Pollok Park looks like a great location. I love the long haired cows, such wonderful beasts.
I personally wouldn't care to be on a first name basis with the cousin of something I could be eating on Sunday, but I am pleased to meet Baron.

Hi, if you have any pictures of Simon, I would love to see a highland cow in an American setting.
