Plas Middelwaard

Yesterday we took a walk around Plas Middelwaard.
We met horses and hooglanders (highlanders) or as the Scot's call them Highland Coooo's, according Mike VE3WDM.
Luckely the anaimals are very relaxed. But as you can see the horns have dangerous points.
It is adviced to keep a distance of 25 metres (27 yards) to the Highland Coo's.

  1. Good afternoon Bert, when my wife and I were Scotland this year we ran across some Highlanders or as the Scot's call them Highland Coooo's. They are a very nice looking animal but as you said and we were advised...."keep your distance"

  2. Hallo Bert, volgens mij lopen ze ook in het Lauwersmeer gebied. Althans wij kwamen er wat tegen onderweg naar Friesland. 73, Bas

  3. Hallo Bert, ik heb heilig ontzag voor dit soort beesten. Als ze op mijn pad staan in het bos ga ik er niet langs. 73 Paul

  4. Hello, Thank you all for your nice posts.
    With their pointy horns, the Higland Coo's can be more dangerous than the bulls that we saw on the Azores. Just befor releasing the bull, the man place two balls on the tip of the horns, to avoid a tooooo dramatic scene. hi
