You're on to another fallacy though - that farmers are, or have ever been - thoughtful enough to erect stones as an aid to animal husbandry. A cow loves nothing more than a good scratch - same with a horse and sheep too. It's just that standing stones are sought out by animals for a scratch. But that doesn't make them scratching posts (they're still standing stones).
