(2005-08-09) | Great to see these ancient breeds making an appearance on the portal, perhaps we should have a section on prehistoric domesticates. Whereabouts in the forest are these critters, I'll have to pay a visit. Mind you, they're not as sweet as those highland cattle with their fringes! | Thorgrim
(2005-08-09) | The cattle roam free - these were on the edge of Fairmead Thicket. Others are behind electric fences on Chingford Plain until they are aclimatised and judged to be safe. Yes I agree, let's see some photos of more ancient breeds. There is a herd of reindeeer somewhere up north and the Chillinghan white cattle in geordie land have never been domesticated. | hamish
(2005-08-09) | Thanks for the photos Mr Thorgrim,now I know where to avoid. | mickm
(2005-08-09) | Coward! Its modern dairy cattle that you really should be wary of & luckily there is no danger of running into an Aurochs anymore. | hamish
(2005-08-09) | They are all Aurochs to me. | creators
(2005-08-11) | Me too hamish, anything sporting that kit on its head is better on t'other side of a fence. Lovely picture though. | nicoladidsbury
(2005-08-13) | The chillingham wild cattle are thought to be descendents of the Aurochs, and they have a totally different dna structure to modern domestic cattle, interesting huh? | Thorgrim
(2005-08-13) | Very - can you get us some photos without getting gored? They are pretty fierce I understand. |
