Overview
- The 380-pound miniature Highland from Mini Highland Cattle Co. boarded Capt. Ryan Harrington’s No Bananas Sportfishing boat on Wednesday for its first outing on the water.
- The crew traveled from Gulfport Marina through Tierra Verde to Shell Island at an easy pace, drawing double takes from boaters and neighbors along the route.
- During a stop at a sandbar, the cow jumped off to explore before three bystanders helped lift him back onto the boat.
- Harrington said a life vest and a floating dock level with the boat made loading straightforward and kept the trip manageable.
- Owner Hailey Shaw says Jason regularly visits hospitals, nursing homes, and daycares, with fall appearances planned at local pumpkin patches and trick-or-treat events.
