On the subject of draught animals - please take a look at my second to last picture listed under Winter Hill. It shows a round barrow, I guess, on the flanks of Winter Hill, which I've named Horrocks Moor barrow - for obvious reasons ... The longhorn cattle in that picture are notoriously docile. It was surprising just how placid they were - there'd be no difficulty harnessing one of those. Probably the ancient cattle were larger than these specimens as they were closer to the ancestral Auroch. And they eat almost anything - unlike Friesians, for instance, which have a great - and totally out of the blue - front kick.
