Collection: Scottish Highland Cow

Meet our beautiful and Scottish Highland Cow Ginger at The Big Goose Adventure Farm & Wildlife Park on the Mornington Peninsula. With her long shaggy coat, giant horns and gentle personality, Ginger is one of the farm’s biggest stars and a favourite with families visiting from across Melbourne.

Kids love spotting Ginger the Highland Cow relaxing in the paddocks, wandering through the farm and showing off her enormous fluffy fringe. Her calm nature and striking appearance make her one of the most photographed farm animals at The Big Goose, especially for younger children seeing a real Scottish Highland Cow up close for the first time.

Meeting Ginger is part of a full hands-on farm adventure where families can feed animals, explore outdoor farm areas and enjoy a relaxed country day out near Melbourne. Bring the kids, pack a picnic and spend the day making memories with one of the fluffiest and most lovable residents on the farm.
