Did you Know?
There is a Society dedicated to Highland Cattle. It’s a serious business when it comes to rearing one of the oldest registered breeds of cattle in the world. They have lower levels of fat and cholesterol and a higher protein and iron content than other beef. There’s even advice on what to call your coo. Gaelic is preferred, but we’ve stuck to traditional popular culture!

Very pleased with it!
I followed this clever pattern to make a gift for my friend in Tasmania who has two real 'coos' . The pattern worked really well and was forgiving of a couple of mistakes I made - I haven't crocheted anything for about 40 years. The final product was a big hit and has encouraged me to try another one of these crazy beautiful amigurumi animals. Midge might even get a big brother! Denise
