You were introduced to the Red Poll cattle last week. Today, we hear how farmer George Young from the county of Essex (one down from Suffolk, a little up and to the 'right' of London... for those less familiar with UK geography) has chosen to introduce the breed to his arable farm. He explains the ecological utility of the animal, its relative ease of care, the ethical place for the breed and how he will seek to utilise their yield. It's an informative and well-presented eight minutes, with some lovely shots of him patting his beasts!
What beautiful cattle, the color of their coats is outstanding. Bravo to the farmer for helping an old breed to thrive on his farm.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy seeing a younger person committed to this breed. The cattle's "bangs" between the ears is cute! Namaste
ReplyDeleteThere's some peculiar delight in working with animals, I believe. I've seen people like this man in the video who enjoy spending time with their cattle.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful , Thanks a lot for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that he pets his cattle. He loves them and cares!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be an increasing number of enlightened farmers who reject the destructive practices of the past and are contributing to sustainability and respect for the animals in their care. Such a good trend!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see Farmer George is so dedicated to this breed of cattle. It is nice to see him patting his cows.
Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
