About Me

Hi! I'm Poofie! I'm the fluffiest, friendliest cow you'll ever meet. My coat is so thick and soft that people think I'm a giant teddy bear come to life. I came to Pine Acres when I was just a little calf, and I've grown up to be one of the most photographed animals on the whole farm. Visitors love to take pictures with me because I look like something out of a storybook. I may be big, but I'm as gentle as a kitten. I love warm sunny days, fresh green grass, and making new friends. Come say hi — I promise I don't bite!

My Personality

Poofie is the definition of a gentle giant. She's calm, patient, and loves attention from visitors of all ages. She never minds being photographed and will often pose for the camera. She's the unofficial greeter of the farm and has a way of making everyone feel welcome.

How to Interact With Me

Poofie loves gentle pats on her neck and shoulders. Please approach her calmly and let her sniff your hand first. She's very patient with children and loves being photographed. Ask a farm helper to help you get the perfect selfie with her!

Safety Tips

Poofie is very large, so always approach her from the front where she can see you. Never stand directly behind her. Please don't feed her anything without asking a farm helper first — some foods can make cows sick!

Conservation Status

Recovering — once endangered, now growing in popularity

HighPark cattle are a heritage breed from Scotland known for their incredibly thick, shaggy coats. Their long hair helps them stay warm in cold, rainy weather. They are naturally polled, meaning they don't grow horns. HighParks are a smaller breed of cattle, making them perfect for small farms. Their calm and friendly temperament makes them wonderful companion animals.
