A "curly coo" (Highland cow) on Cadini di Misurina trail to Rifugio Savio in Sesto Dolomites, near Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, Europe.

A "curly coo" (Highland cow), seen on the Cadini di Misurina loop hike via Rifugio Savio (5-mile circuit with 1850 feet gain) from Chalet Lago d’Antorno Trailhead in the Sesto Dolomites, near Cortina d'Ampezzo, Belluno province, Italy, Europe. The Highland (Hielan coo in Scots) is a hardy Scottish breed of rustic cattle with long horns and a long shaggy coat. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland. The first herd-book dates from 1885, when two types – a smaller island type, usually black, and a larger mainland type, usually dun – were registered as a single breed. It is reared primarily for beef, and has been exported to several other countries.
