Rare breed cows

And here is the photo of the painting from the underpass (see previous post) of one of the rare breed cows that craze a section of the marshes.



They are used to keep down vegetation to allow the survival of a nondescript but very rate (only known from one other location) plant.

When I was young living in a hamlet in Cornwall, my brothers and I would go into the field next door and lie down. The curious cows would come up and lick our faces (their tongues are wet and rasping). Can't get near the cows on the marshes.
