There was great excitement on the morning that we first discovered the Lovechild standing with her mother, Molag Dossan.
At first glance we thought she was a rare strain of coo called a Parti-Coloured Highland. Then the penny dropped! We soon remembered that our Simmental bull called, Large William, had broken out onto the hill 9 months earlier and had clearly spent the night with Molag. This beautiful girl was not a pure-bred Highland calf, but in many ways, this made her even more special.
As summer rolled on, she grew up on the hill where her mother, her aunties and all her friends were Highland coos. And, as there are no mirrors on the hill, she has never seen her own reflection - she doesn’t know that she’s not a Highland coo.
Now Lovechild is all grown up and she’s expecting her first calf in the spring of 2025. This time the daddy is definitely a Highland bull and we’re all hoping that a wee heifer calf is on its way. We can’t wait to see what happens in calving time 2025.
