Scottish Highland cattle take on important tasks in the Leipheimer Moos. They live in the area all year round and do what would otherwise require machines. They eat grass, reeds and nettles and clear bushes to keep the recultivating moorland as open as possible. They are robust, undemanding and, above all, comparatively light, so they hardly damage the sensitive soil. With their shaggy fur and horns spanning up to 1.60 metres, they offer an unusual but very welcome sight in the moor. Every now and then a few Dartmoor ponies join them.
