Highlanders are like any animal. You get good 'uns and bad 'uns. We have a small fold, only five of them and only one is one that is a bit skittish. Not nasty, but not friendly and a bit flighty. Her daughter, on the other hand, is the sweetest, calmest thing on the planet. We don't de-horn. We're just careful. Very careful. I think with polled animals, it's easier to be complacent. With enormous horns waving around, you're always on your toes!
All of that said, I quite fancy a couple of Guernseys as well... Anyone have some?
