Yak Milo is a weighted highland cow plush built the way the animal actually looks: a shaggy double coat in two tones, a fringe that falls over the eyes, and upswept horns in a leather-look finish. Most highland cow stuffed animals round the shape into a cartoon. This one keeps the low, heavy stance of the real breed, so it reads as a specimen on a shelf rather than a toy in a bin.
Ask about this oneQuestions
- Is the weighted filling safe, and can the plush be washed?
- The weight comes from food-grade poly pellets sealed in an inner pouch, not loose beads, so nothing escapes if the outer seam is opened. Spot-clean by hand with cool water and mild detergent; do not machine wash, because the pellets clump and the pile mats. Brush the coat back into direction while it is still damp.
- How big is the highland cow plush?
- Yak Milo measures roughly 41 x 16 x 15 cm (about 41 cm from nose to tail) and sits low, in the resting stance the real breed takes. It is sized to hold in two hands or to sit on a shelf, not to be a large floor plush. Measurements are taken by hand and can vary by 1-2 cm.
- Why is it called Yak Milo if it is a highland cow?
- Milo is the name of this particular piece, the way a studio names a design rather than numbering it. The pattern is taken from Highland cattle, a Scottish breed, not from a yak. The two animals share the long shaggy coat and the wide horns, which is why the nickname stuck, but the anatomy under the fur follows the highland cow.
- What are the horns made of?
- The horns and hooves use a leather-look material stitched over a soft core. They hold their upswept shape but stay soft enough that the piece is safe to handle and to knock over.
- Is this a toy for children or a display piece?
- It is built for adult collectors and display. The fur is long and the eyes are hand-set, so it is not intended for rough play or for children under three.
- How much is a highland cow plush?
- Prices for this specimen are quoted per run rather than listed, because runs are small and materials shift between them. Message the studio and you will get the current figure and what is still available.
- What is the difference between a highland cow and an ordinary cow?
- Highland cattle are a Scottish breed with a shaggy double coat, a long fringe over the eyes, and wide upswept horns. They stand lower and heavier than dairy breeds. Those three traits are exactly what the pattern keeps.
