It's been on the news peeps buying micro pigs only to find they keep growing to normal size. A pig isn't really a good choice for a family pet unless yer can give it the life it would have had on a farm, in my opinion. They need space and to be happy anorl. Celeb micro pig ownership has a lot to answer for. It may be considered cool but the pigs welfare is more important.

Regardles of it being true or not, it's not very polite to call him that.

Before we moved back into the city, we had 10 acres 20 mins from town. As well as other things (horses & dog kennels) we ran 6 calves for a local farmer. They were very young boys when we got them fresh from an auction but were obviously quite big lads by the time we handed them back to him. We were basically city folk from London and knew nothing about cattle, so we left the 'technical' bits of farming (inoculations etc) to the farmer, but we spent lots of time with them over the year we had them and got to 'know' them well. They were really great animals, if a little stubborn!Probably Angus too. As you say, you cant recognise them. Reason for that is that that is hard poor ground, the thinner skinned breeds struggle on Dartmoor.
Quite a lot, the behaviour and handling of cattle is a big subject.
Move steadily but quietly, confident but not aggresive, definitely dont go anywhere near any calves. Dont have a dog. Dont flap, or be scary or unusual, they arent used to orange cagoules.
About the best I can do off the top of my head.
Lot of reading on the net if you google. Some people can move large herds of wildish cattle on their own using nothing but body movements!
Dont try that until you have about 20 years experience, though!
When time came for them to go back to the farmer, we had to use a ramp down the road to get them on a truck. The farmer brought up his dogs and helpers on quads etc to shift them but was amazed that we just walked them down there no hassle. They had obviously come to know and trust us during the time they spent with us as well

Never driven a Freelander on a mildly damp field then.
The tratter is more likely to get stuck on a field than a Freelander
Yeah ok.
I can put this one to bed followed a vintage tractor run t'other week in the freelander ( before i sold it ) and it didn't miss a beat going across chatsworth's grasslands which normally aint accessible to the public
even the fordson major in front of me was having traction issues sliding about all ove the place on the grass and mud but the freelander was untroubled by it and that was on road tyres!
didn't like the concrete bollard that someone dragged up with their tow hitch cuz the idiot had left it on the down setting but sides that no issues
Heres the bit of land we crossed between chatsworth and bakewell
