  • The hills of western North Carolina are a perfect place for Scottish Highland Cattle-and apparently, so is the internet! Meet the adorable cows of Happy Hens & Highlands Farm and the couple who harnessed social media to try a new kind of farming that has created a viral cuteness around the world in our all new My Home, NC story.

    I have direct bloodlines back to Yancey County,nc in the 1700's. I have jones ancestors buried at snow creek area up by nc/ va border. Lots of my scotch/ irish ancestors settled up in hillsides of western nc before migrating across the western nc blue ridge hills settling in northeast Tennessee by Johnson city and jonesborough areas by the 1770 to 1780's.
    Love the highland breed of cows. Wouldn't mind buying a cow or two from you all when I move back to hawkins county,tn to look after my elderly dad. One of my best friends growing up back there he owns a farm.

    • @margaretleboeuf6765
      @margaretleboeuf6765 3 роки тому

      Unfortunately, when we visited from Louisiana one year, I asked where was Bessy?
      My uncle told me, in his thick, slow drawl, 'tharl she is on the taaaabbble, and the rest of her is over to the frrreeezzzerrr'
      I was Horrified!
      I knew farmers raised animals for food. Men in my family hunted in order to feed their families.
      But eating an animal you named seemed 🤔 so horrible to me!
      In my mind, if you developed a relationship and named an animal, it becomes a member of the family!
      I understand y'all not choosing to raise those beautiful Highland cattle to give them a good home, and selling only to hobby farmers.
      I refused to eat Bessie.
      I am an omnivore, no way could I be vegetarian or vegan..😊

    I dont have a farm which is disappointing.
    Last year l found another breed that l hadn't heard or seen b4. A all white Cattle from Italy. Think it was Tuscany or Piedmont region. And the meat has next 2 know fat. Also a gr8 look'in beast. Enjoy ur Wooly Rugs on 4 legs. 👌👍
