The diversity of cattle on display

If you like pictures of the diversity of cattle, the last few days must have seemed like Christmas and you birthday rolled into one. It all started with a gem from Jim Richardson in the Highlands of Scotland. Then there was the fascinating article on “holistic management” of rangelands in Zimbabwe. And finally today news of the re-opening of the Altamira Caves, and of an exhibition of rather more recent paintings in Rome.

LATER: Ooooh, and ancient cattle products too.
