![]() ![]() If you really do have to get them moving, then it is better to park your car a bit further back and then approach them on foot to try to usher them off the road. ![]() The best thing to do is just sit patiently and wait for them to get bored with the game. What should I do if a Highland Cow is blocking the road?ĭon’t toot your horn! For one thing, they really don’t care that you are in a hurry, but if they are with calves they might feel threatened and those horns can do quite a bit of damage to your paintwork. We think this is why we got chased at Ruthven Barracks and had a “horn assisted” clamber over a wall. The only thing that we would warn you about Highland cows is that they are very maternalistic and, if they think their calves are threatened, they will react. Which is a good thing as Hairy Coos attract tourists with“Selfie” sticks like a cowpat attracts flies. They are not friendly in the sense that they will come bounding up to see you wagging their tails, but they are very tolerant of tourists. These cows have attitude and are well aware that they weigh more than you so don’t expect them to move quickly when you want to get past.Īs a general rule (the exception being the ones at Ruthven barracks), they are quite placid animals. It is not uncommon to find cows reclined on the road through the village as Mary Dobson, owner of the village’s Croft Cafe, has her own fold.
