14 Pictures Of Highland Cattle Calves To Brighten Your Day

Admit it. More than once, you have drifted away from whatever it was you were supposed to be doing to ooh and ahh over photos of adorable baby animals. Who can blame you? Adulting can be monotonous and difficult, while cute little critters just make you feel happy.

Well, you better go grab a snack or top off your coffee, because some time wasting is about to happen with some fluffy, doe-eyed animal babies. We’re not going to show you kittens, puppies or the latest newborns at the zoo. What you’re about to see is perhaps the most huggable farm animal yet: Highland cattle calves.

Native to Scotland, Highland cows are known for their short legs and long, wavy coats, which gives them a soft, snuggly appearance, especially when they are young.

Here’s a healthy dose of pics of lovable livestock little ones that are sure to melt your heart. In fact, they may even cause you to consider a career change. Highland cattle farming, anyone?
