Cows are on the moo-ve.

A QUARTET of cows which is helping to preserve a country park's heathland habitat has moo-ved to pastures new.

Lichfield District Council has moved the three Aberdeen Angus-British Friesian cows and one Belgian Blue-British Friesian, which are on loan from a local farmer, from Anglesey Basin at Chasewater Country Park to Heathland Translocation until September.

It is the first time the council has introduced cows to the site near to the country park's outdoor education centre and sailing club.

They will continue grazing on the heathland to save the council maintaining it manually before being returned to the farmer.
