but them dirt paths you follow that have been constant year after year, caused by just low population of a few ramblers walking the same strict route. as most other human population use roads instead
now imagine a field being used like a music festival routinely,trampled on randomly with no obvious care for direction or route
because after all cows dont the intellect to drive cars to just stick to roads or enough intellect to stick to paths
its why farmers doing organic grass feed free range farming have to section off fields and herd cows to new sections every fortnight in cycles of a couple months
to then.. human organised reseed .. the first patch and give it time to regrow over that 6week recovery time before letting the cattle back on that section
imagine if farmers didnt do that and just let cows bred naturally by not separating the bull from the cows, and not sectioning off area's to give it a chance to regrow. nor reseed the land after the cows move to new area's
