Are They Really So Cute?



People have been heard to say that highland cattle are sweet. I've no doubt that Sheffield Wildlife Trust, desperate to persuade doubters that these cattle are a great asset to Blacka Moor, tell people to come along and see the delightful animals they have brought onto the site. This is because there was considerable unhappiness at the decision to graze cattle here. But are they really so cute? I've seen many farm animals living in different conditions across the country and have worked with cattle when they have appeared contented. And I have to say that these cows look pretty miserable to me. Surely nobody would say these beasts are just the thing to bring your grandchildren to look at.
