The three young cattle on Elvetham Heath are being taken off today to head back to the farm for the winter period. They have done a brilliant job all summer munching on all the scrub and vigorous grasses that can take over a heathland landscape if they are not controlled.
By helping us to control the scrub the cattle allow other less competitive heathland species such as Heathers to grow.
Thank you to everyone who helped keep an eye on our lovely rare breed cattle for us.
