Hands-on Coo Tour

This tour is all about going on safari and getting that fantastic hands-on highland cow experience.

Head out into the fields, in our safari trailer, along with other highland coo fans.  There you will get a chance to groom some of our younger cows from the safety of our outdoor play-pen.  Then, head out onto the hill to see the main herd being fed. On your way back to the farmyard you will be given the opportunity to get fantastic pictures of our Supermoodel coo that poses for pictures, before returning to the farmyard for a cuppa and a trio of traybakes.

What to Expect

As part of our Hands-On Coo Tour takes place outside the safari trailer, it’s important to dress for the weather – be sure to check the forecast and bring extra footwear, such as wellies, and a waterproof jacket if needed.
You must be able to negotiate 4 steps off and back onto our safari trailer during the experience.
