Coo University
"Coo" is the old Scottish word for cow — and Coo University is Lone Pine's program for teaching kids and teens everything about Scottish Highland cattle.
Coo University is still being built
Everything below is what the program is growing into. We are putting the details together now — dates, sessions, and how to enroll. Reach out and we will let you know the moment it opens.
Growing the Next Generation of Highland Cattle People
Coo University gives youth hands-on time with our Highland herd — learning the breed's history, how to handle and show cattle, and what it takes to raise them well. It's part chore list, part classroom, part show ring.
Breed History & Heritage
Where Scottish Highland cattle came from, why the breed looks the way it does, and what makes it different from commercial cattle.
Showmanship & Handling
Halter-breaking, leading, and ring etiquette taught by exhibitors who show Highlands themselves.
Ranch Life & Chores
Real barn time — feeding, care, and the daily work that goes into raising healthy cattle.
4-H & FFA Friendly
Coo University pairs well with 4-H and FFA projects, with mentorship for kids showing Highlands for the first time.
Kids and Highlands, Learning Together
Bring your kid out to Coo U
Sessions are hands-on and scheduled around school and show season.
