Wild Cattle Of Tankerville Estate In Northumberland
In England a rare herd of 44 pure white wild cattle grazes within a 700 acre fenced demesne owned by the Earl of Tankerville in Northumberland. Known for centuries, the herd is kept pure, receives costly care, and has drawn support from the Zoological Society for preservation. The cattle are shy, dangerous to strangers, and likely descendants of the aurochs. Bread-eating in France declines, says Edmond Chaix, with per capita intake dropping from two pounds to one pound ten ounces due to wartime quality. A proverb notes people rarely consider life’s ups and downs until they strike a low.
