Cattle Grazing
11th August 1945: A herd of Highland cattle grazing in a valley in the Scottish Highlands. Kept mainly for their appearance, Highland cattle are too slow growing to provide beef and produce little milk. Farmers often cross Highland cattle with shorthorns, providing good beef cattle with a hardy constitution and a good temperament.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment in the Scottish Highlands on the 11th of August, 1945. In this idyllic scene, a herd of majestic Highland cattle can be seen peacefully grazing in a lush valley. These magnificent animals, known for their distinctive appearance with long horns and shaggy coats, were primarily kept for their aesthetic value rather than practical purposes. Highland cattle are renowned for their slow growth rate, making them unsuitable for beef production or milk supply. To overcome this limitation, farmers often crossbred Highland cattle with shorthorns to create hardy beef cattle with excellent temperaments. The photograph beautifully showcases the rugged beauty of Scotland's landscape as well as its rich agricultural heritage. The tranquil river flowing through the valley adds an extra touch of serenity to the composition. Taken by acclaimed photographer Kurt Hutton and originally published in Picture Post magazine under the title "Highland Cattle: A Northern Idyll" this image is a testament to Hutton's skill in capturing both natural landscapes and human interest subjects. Whether you appreciate it for its artistic merit or simply admire the charm of these iconic Scottish creatures against such breathtaking scenery, this archival print is sure to evoke a sense of tranquility and appreciation for nature's wonders.
