Heeland coos

I just learned something fascinating! Do you know why highland cows are red? Apparently there used to be a mix of black cows and red cows. Queen Victoria visited Scotland, and being the influential lady that she was, made a passing comment while looking out on a field of mixed cows about the black cows looking a bit sinister. So they bred for red cows. The things you learn on a coach.
