Chris Leyland, manager of the cattle, takes us on a tour – the park has some ancient alder trees
Alder and cattle in bg
Sometimes called “Fairy Cattle” for the unique red fur in ther ears
They darken in color as they get older
definitely curious about us, but on their own terms
the oldest lady with crooked horns – she’s 17, but still can satisfy a good itch
there are about 87 cattle in all
with a decent park range – no shortage of grazing food, minimal human intervention, hay in winter
