A farmer was left stunned when an irate motorist blasted their 60-year-old tradition of moving cattle across a road as “inconsiderate” to commuters.<br /><br />Margaret Lees, 53, whose in-laws started Park Farm in Walmersley, Gtr Manchester, in 1958, moves her cows to their pasture twice a day between April and October.<br /><br />And she said many locals loved seeing her 50-strong dairy herd and their calves spend five minutes crossing Manchester Road in the village.<br /><br />But last week, the brief pause in traffic at 8.30am caused one driver to phone up her farm shop and rage at her employees about the rural practice.<br /><br />After she posted about the incident on social media, she was “overwhelmed” by support from her community – and vowed to keep up the long-standing tradition.
