The Naming of the Cows

Hazeley Heath is playing host to a five year grazing trial, which started this summer. On the Hart District Council owned section of the SSSI four Belted Galloway’s crossed with Dexters are happily munching away on the heath. The only problem was these four cows were nameless!

At the Hartley Wintney Village Festival the Countryside Service ran a ‘Name the Cow’ competition for the kids of the village. We had four photos of our four girls on the heath and asked the children to come up with names for them. The owner of the cows then picked his four favourites and the winners received a cute cuddly toy cow.

So we can now present the official names of the four cows on Hazeley heath:
















Ermintrude
















Liquorice
















Cream
















Comfrey

The girls will be on the heath until the end of the summer.
