This is Bridgette, our friendliest cow. Most of our cattle are friendly, but she takes the cake (or cow patty). I was trying to take a picture of the calf in the background when she photo bombed the picture. If you walk into the pasture she thinks she needs your full attention. She loves to be scratched. She joined our fold when she was about 8 months old. She will be 3 later this spring and is expecting her first calf.
Bridgette is beautifully brindled and our bull also has some brindling, so I'm very excited to see what coloring the calf will have. If it is brindled it won't show up until it's older. The website Bairnsley Highlands has several articles on coat colors of highlands. Here is their article on the basic coat colors, but they have lots of other interesting articles on their site worth checking out including in-depth coat color genetics and calf colors.
