As well as posing with thousands of visitors for photographs, he was also the muse for many artists - with one even dubbing him the “Kate Moss of the Highland cow world, who always looks good even on a bad hair day”. The coat colours are caused by alleles at the MC1R gene (Elocus) and the PMEL or SILV gene (Dlocus). In 2001 the population for Canada and the United States of America combined was estimated at 10 000. This allows the Highland cattle to produce a crossbred beef calf that has the tender beef of its mother on a carcass shape of more commercial value at slaughter. This makes them well suited to conditions in the Highlands, which have a high annual rainfall and sometimes very strong winds.This would make a gorgeous gift for a wee lassie and the soft-textured design means that Hamish will provide comfort to both children and adults alike.

Claire added: “Honey and Hamish Dubh have spent the past couple of years learning how to pose for pictures from the great master, and they also picked up a lot of his traits and attitude. In 2002 the number of registered breeding cows in the United Kingdom was about 2500; by 2012 this had risen to some 6000. All European cattle cope relatively well with low temperatures but Highland cattle have been described as "almost as cold-tolerant as the arctic-dwelling caribou and reindeer". The usual coat colour is reddish brown, seen in approximately 60% of the population; some 22% are yellow, and the remainder pale silver, black or brindle/dun.

Known for his long locks, Hamish is made of synthetic ginger fur and we reckon if you gave him a wee shave, you’d discover freckly skin under that red mane!
