We have a large herd to look out for this year - 13 Highlands joined the New Forest Ponies on Castle Bottom yesterday, including a whole family: mother, father brothers/sisters and two young calves. There were some initial teething problems, as the whole group decided to explore the boggy mire as soon as they stepped out of the trailer, resulting in 3 cows needing to be rescued. Hopefully, they will have now learned the dangers, although they will be closely monitored during the coming weeks.
I will be holding a training sessions to introduce this years Volunteer Lookers to the cattle this coming Sunday morning (1st April), time TBC, if you think you can make it please let me know!
Photos to follow, all the best,
Ranger Natalie
