cattle on the common??

Interesting article on the possibility of introducing cattle to the 'old' airport site  www.gethampshire.co.uk/news/local-news/large-cattle-enclosures-could-fill-8546292 .
May have to watch where you are stepping, and cow pats are a bit bigger than dog ones! Of course I think a couple of thousand feet of runway extension would be a far better use for the land!

Kind of reminds me of an old entry in guides such as Pooleys regarding flying into Popham, saying that 'A low pass is approved to clear grazing sheep'. I don't remember ever seeing any grazing sheep (or any other animal) ever since my first visit there in 1981!

All they need now are a few cowboys!

They re-introduced sheep onto Dunstable Downs close to where I lived. After two years there were none left, killed by dogs and foxes or stolen!

It was probably the lions out on a jolly from Whipsnade Zoo.

Those foxes don't half get some bad press.
