Anything summary

For my "anything" summary this week I studied Scottish highland cows.  Scottish highland cows are one of the oldest breeds of cattle in the world. They originally came from  the highland areas of Scotland. At first there were two different types of highland cattle, but now there is only one. There are many different colors to highlanders such as blonde, silver, black, dun, red, white, and brindle. Black was actually the original colour of highland cattle but the Victorians liked the ginger colour better so they specifically bred that color. Highlanders are mainly known for their cuteness and fur coat, but they also can be used as beef cattle. Sometimes they're even used for milking. Highlanders aren't very great to use as beef cattle because they have two layers of fur so they have more fur than fat.  A lot of people wonder what to do for highlanders in the summer but they really don't Have to do anything because highland cattle are very adaptable to any kind of weather. When it's hot they stay in shade, stay by water and rub their back on anything they can to shed.
