Thanks very much for that, it's good to get some input from the frontline, as it were. Yes, the idea of someone official coming along and "moving" the cows at appropriate times is pretty laughable.

I have been reading the comments on Ian Cooke's site, which totally echo my own thoughts. I just hope that the views of the apparent majority will be taken as more important than the profits of those directly benefiting from the grazing scheme - not least of which appear to be the fencing contractors.
