When you see this gigantic Scottish highland steer with flaming red fur and massive pointy horns, the word ‘gentle’ wouldn’t be the first thing that comes to mind. After all, the beast weighs around 2,000 pounds, which equals approximately 8-9 adult men.
But the passionate farmer Marc Stewart of Thistle Do Farm in Bedford, Virginia, proves all the prejudice wrong. In a minute-long video, which has been watched more than 963k times, Marc explains that not only are highland cattle “one of the most docile breeds,” they are also incredibly smart.
The video shows his 9-year-old Highland steer Hamish peacefully clinging by Marc’s side as he carefully grooms him. “He’s getting the dangerous parts away from me,” says Marc, referring to the gigantic horns that would send chills down my spine if I was standing close to them, and tells him this is a sign of respect. So let’s meet the gentle giant Hamish down below in a video that challenges the ways we think of these incredible animals.
