Last week, we ran the neighbouring farm’s mixed beef herd back to their winter shed from some outlying fields almost two miles away. This happens twice yearly – going out and coming in – and it was all hands on deck.
Gateways, driveways, entrances to lanes all needed to be blocked, as did the B-road winding through Upper Castle Combe that the herd crosses on an awkward bend. It was quite a spectacle – a “stop the traffic” event in every sense.
