[QUOTE="andybob, post: 1797123, member: 2703"] While not Highlands, the Shetland has always been a "mini" breed, and is still popular as a crofter cow. The commercial breeders discovered that the Shetland has a very wide pelvis and can calve a continental cross without assistance, this led to the breed almost becoming extinct, and had to be protected by the rare breeds society, keeping larger numbers of small cows, while selling good sized weaners had been a winning method for almost three decades - the problem was, nobody was breeding replacements.
