Here is young Mika helping to guide the cattle in from Castlemorton Common. Around 100 of them live full time out on the 700 acres of common land at the foot of The Malvern Hills. Mika behaved perfectly even when we had one exciting moment when a few of the cows tried to make a run for it and we had to gallop to head them off.
Here we are with the rest of the team getting the last few cattle up the drive and into the barn, mission accomplished!
