The people who own this land have a few Brahmas and an Emu also. The Brahmas will come over and investigate me. The Emu gets right up in my face and wants all of my attention. The longhorn just stays off in the distance and mostly ignores the fact that I'm there.

remind me of an Ankole Watusi cow. I am no expert, so I'm not sure. I just saw some at the zoo.

great colors and composition.

Thank you, and yes, the Ankole-Watusi is also known as the Ankole Longhorn, or just longhorn.

Beautiful!

Thanks :)

Stunning photo!

Thank you :)

Hey Michael, i have never seen such a spread of horns before. Thanks by the way for the like of my old deserted house. The sort of cows we have here are docile milkers, Jerseys or Guernseys. Soft doe eyed critters. What temperament is the cow you shot so well?

You're welcome :) I've heard they can be pretty mean, but this one keeps it's distance.
