As a loyal supporter of the Hereford breed of cattle I get upset when hobby farmers (there are few real farmers in the South of England anymore, but that's another story ...) populate their fields with 'rare' breeds particularly Highlands.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Highlands, Galloways, Belted Galloways, Welsh Blacks, Dexters (OK, I just can't take Dexters seriously!!) - they are fine breeds, But it's hardly fair on them to bring them to the soft south with warm winters, hot summers and endless lush grass when they are used to toughing it on sparse grazing on the West coast of Scotland or the hills of Wales.

Nevertheless, I thought this young lady looked quite at home in the frost!
