How long is milking period for a highland cow?

Answer 1

That is highly dependent on the breed and the sex and age of a bovine. Typically older animals will have longer horns than younger stock, and males have longer, larger horns than females do.

Texas Longhorns have been bred to have enormous expanse of horns, sometimes with a length of over 6 feet from tip to tip. Ankole-Watusi have huge horns in terms of diameter at the base, but also in length. One horn can be as long as 4 feet with a diameter of around 10 inches or more.

Highland cattle may have a total length of 4 to 5 feet in length from tip to tip (some bulls have longer expanses), and Ancient White Park are typically a little shorter. Horned Shorthorns and Herefords only have a horn length (individual horn, not tip-to-tip) of a total of 8 to 10 inches. Hereford bulls, who have their horns to be made to curl down, may have a horn that is 12 to 14 inches long. Brahman and Zebu-type cattle may grow up to the same length of horn as Horned Herefords and Horned Shorthorns do, though Brahmans' horns are usually a bit shorter.

Answer 2

From tip to tip, around 4 to 5 feet in length. Younger animals have a shorter horn length than mature cows. A mature bull's horns are longer than a cow's.
