Abstract

Two years ago, on March 6, 1984, the British Post Office issued 5 special stamps. The 16 pence stamp depicted a Highland cow, and commemorated the centenary of the foundation of the Highland Cattle Society. Some details of
this breed, both in Britain and elsewhere, and of the other four breeds depicted, are given here.
