More bovine bathers continue to elude Regional Council

God help us if land use intensification brings more cows to Hawke’s Bay.
The Regional Council can’t keep track of the ones we have already.
The cows pictured below celebrated Waitangi Day with a wade in the Tukituki, just downstream of the Red Bridge. Not the first time … indeed this seems to be a favourite watering hole of the bovine bathers.

Three weeks ago we featured cows in the Tutaekuri. Maybe they’re all part of the same scofflaw herd!
Roy Boonen, who spotted the Tutaekuri cows in Clive (neither of these locations is exactly at a remote fringe of the region), raised the obvious question: “…if the HBRC cannot even manage to keep it’s own cows out of the rivers within it’s own ‘backyard’, then what confidence can we have in their ability to manage the safety of HB rivers when they are planning to dramatically increase the number of cows in the Hawke’s Bay?”
