May 1962 and the cows of St. Mark's Farm at Kirk Deighton, near Wetherby, held up traffic every day on the by-pass clearway as they are driven between the farm and their pasture. The cattle, about 100 of them, were taken along the clearway for a short distance before turning into the farm entrance. The same procedure applies for the return trip. It happened seven times a day.
