Must They Use Paths?



It's early days perhaps but.....


We always said the paths would suffer. But no, what will happen, said the 'experts', is the cattle will stride across the areas of bracken and bramble helping to prevent it from becoming impenetrable. Well we shall see but so far they have left their mark on every path. On this one they've gone to the side of the barrier SWT erected to stop people and horses from going on an eroded section while it recovered. And as they've done so they have made an ugly scar and then gone onto the area re-seeded a short while ago and scuffed it all up. They are heavy beasts and when they go over soft paths it shows.


Another thing. When my dog responds to a call of nature he dodges off to the side away from the path. These creatures show less sensitivity. But then I forgot. They are really here to show townies what the countryside is really like!







The animal that left this should refer to this earlier post.
