Errr, many of the sites we visit are open to livestock who appear to be unaware that they should not be trampling, climbing, and pooing ( TCP )on all of those delicate mounds, stones and rock art.

Now, you could argue that the presence of larger animals such as cows ( and definitely bulls! ) at a site might reduce the amount of human visitors willing to share a visit with them, but of course the livestock tend to visit for a lot longer than humans and therefore must generate a higher TCP burden on the site than human visits alone.

An single average size cow is way up on the trample meter compared to either of us, having more considerably more mass and twice as many feet, and it would definitely beat us in the pooing stakes too.

And as for the wild flowers, well.........
