    Galloways

    Originally Central Europe was forested with few exceptions. Aurochs and wisent grazed as wind cattle in the clearings. When people settled down and domestic cattle drove into the forests to be fattened, open areas spread out that were later used as meadows and pastures.
    In the Versmolder Bruch, an area of about 5 hectares is grazed by Galloways. Emerging shrubs are thus suppressed by browsing. Water collects in the footprints and trails of the cattle. There the common snipe occasionally pokes around for food. The pasture is not fertilized. In this way, a species-rich plant community can develop. Livestock is low. Ground-nesting bird species and amphibians are spared. When the pasture is under water due to the autumnal rain, the Galloways have to be evacuated.
