Does highland cattle have predators?

Highlanders are domesticated cattle, not wild cattle. However they do have their share of predators: cougars, wolves, and bears mostly. It is good to note though, that these predators only come out to kill when they have no other food source to find in their territories. The main "predator" of highland cattle are humans, since highlanders, like all beef cattle, are raised for their meat.

Ranchers could have several thousand head of cattle because they had enough land to keep them and they could hire men easily and pay them only a small fraction of the profits from selling the cattle,which left most of the money to the rancher.
