{"product_id":"q-tip-mama-mouse-pad","title":"Q-tip \u0026 Mama - Mouse Pad","description":"\u003cp\u003eMeet \u003cstrong\u003eQ-tip\u003c\/strong\u003e — the first calf ever born on our little farm in Ithaca, Michigan — and his mama, \u003cstrong\u003eScarlet\u003c\/strong\u003e. This mouse pad puts that real, unposed moment on your desk: pure white fluff, jet-black nose, and a Scottish Highland mama who finally has the look of a cow who knows exactly what she's doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photo is ours. The cows are ours. The story is true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe story behind the photo\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScarlet is one of our original Highland girls. Smaller than Belle, ginger like the rest, and for a long time she was the stand-offish one — the cow who would take a treat but not a kiss. Then Q-tip happened. He was the very first calf born on the farm, and motherhood flipped a switch in her. She became patient. Watchful. A genuinely good mama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ-tip himself is a white Highland steer with a double coat that looks like someone wrapped a cloud around a cotton ball. His dad is \u003cem\u003ePoseidon\u003c\/em\u003e, our chill white Highland bull. His best bud is \u003cem\u003eLeo\u003c\/em\u003e, another little guy from the same season. But this design is just the two of them — Q-tip and Scarlet — exactly the way we found them one afternoon in the pasture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a mouse pad?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause most desks could use a Highland cow on them. This one is a smooth-top cloth mouse pad with a non-slip rubber base, printed edge to edge in full color so the photo actually looks like a photo — not a washed-out reprint. It tracks cleanly with both optical and laser mice and wipes down with a damp cloth when coffee happens (it will happen).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal farm photography\u003c\/strong\u003e — shot here on our 30 acres, not stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth cloth top\u003c\/strong\u003e over a grippy rubber base that stays put\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge-to-edge print\u003c\/strong\u003e in vivid, full color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to clean\u003c\/strong\u003e — a quick wipe and it's good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinted in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e via our print partner (Charlotte, LA, or Dallas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one's for the Highland cow people.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSteer\u003c\/strong\u003e half of the name is the herd: Scottish Highlands, Black Dexters, and Mini Moos, thirteen of them at last count. The \u003cstrong\u003eWolf\u003c\/strong\u003e half is our two husky-mix siblings, Chase and Everest, who came north with us from Texas and are part of why we're here at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe don't keep a warehouse. Every product on the shop is made to order in the USA when you buy it, which means less waste, no overstock, and a real human pulling your order off a press in Charlotte, Los Angeles, or Dallas. It takes a few extra days. We think it's worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ-tip \u0026amp; Mama, on a mouse pad, on your desk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever wanted a Highland cow at work without the obvious logistical problems, this is the closest we can get you.
