Cattle have arrived in Fields

On Monday 16th April thirty young cattle arrived in the Fields. They are smaller than the heifers we had in previous years, and are of varied colours. Harry, their stockman, told us they are cross Simmental, Angus, Charolais and Hereford.

Due to their small nature, we have had to add another crossbar to the wood barrier to the Cooper Hall field by the tree in our big field. (See also NEWS item of 14th March below.)

People with dogs will of course be aware that extra control may be necessary.

The cattle belong to our new grazier, Nigel Toop. The name will be familiar to you from the signs for his scaffolding and roofing company based in Frome. The company website has this address: www.toopgroup.co.uk
