>>2751608Yes, highland cattle is a very specific breed.
I supposed anon just generally talked about "breeds suited for highlands".
The Angus are getting kind of popular around here.
Open stables are getting popular here, too. Hornless genetics on the rise. Allows for higher density. Less injuries. Personally I don't like working with a hornless cow since you can't grab it properly. But open stables don't need all this...and still those farmers send there animals to us in the summer. Imagine catching a young and shy cattle for medical treatment in rough terrain when it's not used to humans.
Your Scottish Highlands are similar in frame and size to the traditional OB.
But original brown is not so heavy on the milk as is the Swiss brown. So for reasons of profit we have those now. Still a breed suitable for "highland".
Don't mind the jeets and blackies. You can still apply for jobs like this. Most farmers would be happy to hire you.
salaries in agriculture have always been shit and will always be shit.
Anyway, it's a thread on the Alps so enjoy some lovely alpine flowers.
Back to work. Cattle and cheese. That's another 5 hours to the 10 I did today.
Ever wondered why it's minorities working such jobs...?
