-Hello, welcome to My Pet And Me. I'm Fern.

-And I'm Rory.

0:00:030:00:07

We've been getting the barn ready for the animals.

0:00:070:00:10

We like to make sure they have the right food and water.

0:00:100:00:13

And a nice comfy place to sleep.

0:00:130:00:15

Lots of different animals make excellent pets

0:00:150:00:18

and we love meeting you and yours.

0:00:180:00:20

We definitely do and I'm off to meet some new friends, now.

0:01:080:01:11

Today, we're here on the beautiful Isle of Skye to meet Katie

0:01:140:01:18

and her Highland cows.

0:01:180:01:19

I cannot wait to see them. Come on.

0:01:190:01:22

-Hi, Katie.

-Hi.

-And you must be Katie's mum. Hello.

0:01:280:01:32

-Hi, Fern.

-Nice to meet you.

0:01:320:01:34

So, are these your Highland cows?

0:01:340:01:36

-Yes.

-They are beautiful, aren't they?

0:01:360:01:40

-Do you know where Highland cows come from?

-Scotland.

0:01:400:01:43

That's right, they come from Scotland.

0:01:430:01:45

Originally, they came from the Highlands

0:01:450:01:48

and the Islands of Scotland, but nowadays,

0:01:480:01:51

they can be found all over the world, even in Australia.

0:01:510:01:55

-How many do you have?

-21.

-Wow, that's a nice amount of cows.

0:01:550:02:00

-Do you have any favourites?

-Yes.

0:02:000:02:02

Come on, I'll show you the other two.

0:02:020:02:05

Show me the other two, your favourite ones, let's go.

0:02:050:02:09

0:02:090:02:11

Hello. Who are these, Katie? They are beautiful.

0:02:210:02:25

Riona and Isla.

0:02:250:02:26

They're my favourite Highland cow.

0:02:260:02:29

So, the big one is Isla, the little one is Riona.

0:02:290:02:32

You've got two amazing white Highland cows. They're gorgeous.

0:02:320:02:36

I can see why they're your favourite. What age is Riona?

0:02:360:02:39

-Five weeks old.

-She's tiny. That's really young, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:02:390:02:46

Isla's the mummy and Riona is her calf.

0:02:460:02:48

Wonderful. Hello. They're really hairy, aren't they?

0:02:490:02:55

-Katie, do you think Isla can see with all that hair on her face?

-Yes.

0:02:550:03:00

-Sometime my daddy brushes her.

-Brushes the cows? Do they like it?

0:03:000:03:04

-Yes.

-What a lucky cow. And they've got nice long hairy coats, too.

0:03:040:03:10

They're very good because it keeps them nice and warm, but in the

0:03:100:03:14

summer, the hair gets a bit shorter, too, so they don't get too hot.

0:03:140:03:18

-Do you know why they've got such big horns?

-To protect themselves.

0:03:180:03:22

That's right. Just in case any other animals want to hurt them.

0:03:220:03:26

Do you know what they do in winter?

0:03:260:03:28

They dig around in the snow with their big horns and they try

0:03:280:03:31

-and find grass. It's pretty clever.

-Yeah.

0:03:310:03:34

Their horns can be very dangerous,

0:03:340:03:36

so it's important not to get too close to a Highland cow.

0:03:360:03:40

Where are you going?

0:03:400:03:41

Is she going to go and try and find more food?

0:03:410:03:44

Why are they your favourites?

0:03:440:03:46

Because they're very calm and Riona is very, very cute.

0:03:460:03:50

She's so cute, with her little curly hair.

0:03:500:03:54

And I hear someone special is going to visit Riona.

0:03:540:03:58

-The vet is coming later on.

-Just to make sure she's nice and healthy?

0:03:580:04:03

That's exciting. I can't wait for that.

0:04:030:04:06

Isla and Riona are two beautiful Highland cows.

0:04:070:04:10

Rory, can you give us some more facts about our hairy friends, here?

0:04:110:04:16

They're coming to say hello. Hi.

0:04:160:04:19

Of course, Fern.

0:04:190:04:21

Male Highland cows are called bulls.

0:04:220:04:24

Females are called cows and baby Highland cows are called calves.

0:04:240:04:29

Highland cows come in lots of different colours, like red,

0:04:320:04:38

black and white.

0:04:380:04:42

Highland cows can spend up to eight hours a day eating.

0:04:450:04:48

That's a lot of food.

0:04:480:04:50

The long fringe between a Highland cow's horns is

0:04:530:04:56

called a dossan.

0:04:560:04:58

That's a funny word.

0:04:580:04:59

Highland cows have very long tongues that help them to eat

0:05:020:05:06

tasty grass or lick their nose.

0:05:060:05:08

Urgh!

0:05:080:05:12

Highland cows are used to living in all sorts of weather conditions

0:05:250:05:30

and they're pretty good at looking after themselves.

0:05:300:05:33

If it gets a little bit wet, they can take shelter under some nearby trees.

0:05:330:05:37

Katie, what do you do to look after your cows?

0:05:370:05:40

Every morning, we always go up the hill and check them.

0:05:400:05:44

That's a good idea, in case any of them are sick or need help.

0:05:440:05:47

-That's nice. Do you give them any special food?

-Yes.

0:05:470:05:51

-What do you give them?

-These cow nuts.

-These ones?

-Yeah.

0:05:510:05:54

These cow nuts are perfect.

0:05:540:05:56

They're full of lovely vitamins for them to keep them nice and healthy.

0:05:560:06:01

-Shall we give her some now? She looks hungry.

-Yeah.

-Are you ready, Isla?

0:06:010:06:06

-Here's your food. Whoa!

-Whoa, they're very hungry.

0:06:090:06:12

She is, isn't she? She likes those.

0:06:120:06:16

-What do cows drink, Katie?

-Water.

-Shall we get them some?

0:06:160:06:20

OK, come on.

0:06:200:06:22

MUSIC PLAYS

0:06:220:06:26

-That enough?

-Yeah.

0:06:300:06:33

-Shall we go?

-Yeah.

0:06:350:06:37

-Where shall we put it, Katie?

-This is where we put it.

0:06:390:06:43

In there? OK.

0:06:430:06:45

You let me know if I'm doing it right.

0:06:460:06:50

-Do you think that's enough water, Katie?

-Yeah.

0:06:550:06:58

It's important that when you approach Highland cows, you don't

0:06:580:07:02

make too much noise or wave your arms about, in case you give them

0:07:020:07:06

a fright and they run away.

0:07:060:07:08

-Riona is so small and cute, Katie.

-Yeah.

0:07:080:07:10

-Getting big and starting to nibble on some grass.

-Oh, is she?

-Yeah.

0:07:100:07:14

-Does she lick the grass?

-Yeah.

-Yum.

0:07:140:07:18

-Well, what if we make her something special.

-A cow cake!

-A cow cake.

0:07:180:07:23

That sounds nice.

0:07:230:07:26

What should we put in this cow cake?

0:07:260:07:28

-Pink flowers, buttercups and daisies.

-Cow nuts?

0:07:280:07:32

-Yes.

-Grass?

-Yes. And hay.

-And hay. That sounds yummy. Shall we go?

-Yeah.

0:07:320:07:38

-See you soon, Isla.

-Bye.

0:07:380:07:42

-Buttercups.

-Yes, lovely.

-They are getting really long.

0:07:420:07:46

-It's so pretty.

-Yeah.

0:07:460:07:50

What about these little feathery feather grass?

0:07:510:07:56

-A bumblebee. Getting the pollen.

-Wow, look at it.

-It's got pollen.

0:07:560:08:01

-Very big bee, isn't she?

-Yeah.

0:08:040:08:07

Is this one of your favourite colours, Katie?

0:08:070:08:11

-Yeah, and pink.

-And pink. There's some big daisies there.

0:08:110:08:14

Yeah. And to finish this yummy cake, we'll have a sprinkle of...

0:08:180:08:23

-Cow nuts.

-Yeah.

0:08:230:08:26

Yummy cow nuts. Let's go.

0:08:280:08:30

Katie, you are so lucky to have such beautiful animals.

0:08:400:08:44

Now, we all know that Highland cows are very good at looking after

0:08:440:08:48

themselves, but if your Highland cows could get up to anything,

0:08:480:08:53

what do you think they would do?

0:08:530:08:56

If my pet could do anything, he will get on a plane

0:08:560:09:01

and go to town.

0:09:010:09:04

He will go into a shop and buy a pink handbag.

0:09:040:09:08

Then he'll go to a hairdressers and he'll get a pink bow on her tail.

0:09:080:09:15

Then he'll get the bus home.

0:09:150:09:17

MUSIC PLAYS

0:09:240:09:26

Just like all animals, it's important to get them checked over by a vet,

0:09:290:09:33

just to make sure that they're nice and healthy.

0:09:330:09:36

Isla and Riona are a bit too big to take to the vets,

0:09:360:09:39

so the local vet, Rhona, has come to check if they're OK. Hi, Rhona.

0:09:390:09:43

-Hi, Fern. Hi, Katie.

-Hi.

0:09:430:09:45

I heard that Isla had had a calf, so I've come to see her.

0:09:450:09:48

-What's her name?

-Riona.

-When did Isla have Riona?

0:09:480:09:52

Five weeks ago.

0:09:520:09:54

-You have to be careful when a cow has a calf, don't you?

-You do.

0:09:540:09:58

It's very important not to go too close,

0:09:580:10:00

because they can be very protective of their calves

0:10:000:10:03

and it's important not to go between the cow and her calf,

0:10:030:10:07

otherwise mummy will be worried.

0:10:070:10:09

-She's keeping a good eye on Riona now, isn't she?

-She is.

0:10:090:10:12

I think she's very fond of her calf.

0:10:120:10:15

I'm not surprised. She's beautiful.

0:10:150:10:18

Katie, we'll stay here while Rhona goes to check on Isla and Riona.

0:10:180:10:23

-What a lovely calf. Did you choose her name?

-No, Daddy did.

-Daddy did.

0:10:280:10:35

-It's a beautiful name, isn't it?

-It is.

0:10:350:10:38

And I can see that Isla has lots of creamy milk there for Riona,

0:10:380:10:42

and Riona has a lovely full tummy.

0:10:420:10:45

I can see that there, and she's got a lovely moist nose.

0:10:450:10:51

That shows that she's nice and healthy.

0:10:510:10:54

-Is that her beginning to nibble some grass, too?

-Yeah.

0:10:540:10:57

-She's got lots of lovely clover to eat.

-Is Isla's nose OK?

0:10:570:11:01

Isla's nose is lovely and wet, yes. She's a happy girl.

0:11:010:11:05

-That's great, isn't it, Katie? Thank you very much, Rhona.

-Bye.

-Bye.

0:11:050:11:10

Now, I think Isla and Riona were really good for that checkup,

0:11:100:11:14

do you? They were nice and still, so shall we give them a treat?

0:11:140:11:18

-Yeah. Cow cake.

-Yeah, let's go get it.

0:11:180:11:21

Isla, Riona! We've got your cake.

0:11:300:11:35

Here we go. I hope she likes it.

0:11:370:11:39

Riona might have a sniff.

0:11:410:11:44

-Oh!

-Go on, Riona. That's your cake.

0:11:440:11:48

-Come on.

-Oh, she eats it.

-I think she likes the blossoms.

-Yeah.

0:11:520:11:59

You can't eat the bucket, Riona. Isla!

0:12:000:12:04

What a greedy guts!

0:12:040:12:06

I think they like their cow cake. Do you think it was a success?

0:12:090:12:13

High five.

0:12:130:12:16

Best cow bakers in the world.

0:12:160:12:18

Katie, thank you so much for introducing me to your cows.

0:12:200:12:23

They are fantastic. I've really loved it. Thank you, cows.

0:12:230:12:28

My pet and me.

0:12:400:12:42

-Hi, Rory.

-Hi, Fern. How was your day?

-Oh, it was great.

0:12:460:12:49

I had such a brilliant time with my new friends.

0:12:490:12:52

What do you think of my work here?

0:12:520:12:54

I think it's looking really tidy and the goats are happy. Good job.

0:12:540:12:58

-Thank you very much.

-Pets are great, but you shouldn't touch any animals

0:12:580:13:02

unless the owner says its OK.

0:13:020:13:04

Two pets you definitely can play with, are ours.

0:13:040:13:07
