Highlander Cattle is a special spiese of long-hair cattle found in Scotland of Britain. Many years ago I saw one during my field trip and took a photo.



On the highland of Si Chuan, I saw an animal which is very similar to Highlander Cattle. People in Si Chuan call it "雪山牦牛" - Cow with long hair of snow mountain(?). Why snow mountain? Look at the color.



(photo by D70 w/AFD 18mm~35mm@f8.0) Look at the clothes of the man. That is tranditional pattern on clothes.Interesting, isn't it? It seems that cattle on highland always has long hair.







Minority in Si Chuan (藏族人) use this hairy cattle's meat to make a special kind of food called "牦牛肉"。



牦牛肉 is supposed to be wet. For easy handling, I bought only dry 牦牛肉.



My mother tried it. She said it is tastey and good to eat with congee.



There are many brand names of 牦牛肉 in market, but some of them use the meat of common cattle meat. Be careful when you are buying.
