Longhorn Cattle.

I noticed these cattle a few weeks ago but they tend to hide away in the woodland. Today I got lucky. They are a rare breed.
The Longhorn is likely to descend from early Roman importations and has been traditionally used as a Yoke Oxen whereby Yoke means a pair of oxen. They were used to pull agricultural equipment such as ploughs and other loads. The oxen are held together with a band around each neck and a wooden beam held across their shoulders and attached to the load.
In 1750 Robert Bakewell of Dishley, Leicestershire commenced improvement of the breed.
