Not mine but I think I recognise the cow near the front right, (shoot on their farm).
A lot of farming folk are in that grave yard, they won't mind.
The fencing on the farm is excellent, well maintained hedges with steel electric fence with the most powerful shock I have come across.
However they border an expanding town, lots of new housing in last few years. When shooting, we often come across people that 'have the right to roam' they are quite happy to leave gates open & make gaps in hedges.

There is a graveyard near me where sheep are deliberately turned into to save mowing the grass. No one seems to mind that's just how its always been. If you don't like don't ask to be buried there.
Agreed, although 'healthy' sheep sh*t is less messy than that of cows.

I hope to be buried under one of our fields, the stock are welcome to do anything they want above me, and will...

As someone who has lost quite a few members of family, including untimely deaths I can honestly say that this sort of thing doesn't bother me. It's unfortunate, but, but it's no worse in my mind than them getting into anywhere else they shouldn't be.

I realise that people deal with grief in different ways, but focusing so much on the dead is not a good thing for the living.

In the early eighties Dad and Grampa were turning cattle out and they shot straight up the yard, across the lane and jumped a 3 foot wall into the churchyard. Cue Dad and Grampa (both churchwardens)running round standing gravestones back up. The cattle carried on into the vicarage garden removing the vicars washing as they went.
No harm done in the long run, and you can imagine some of the old boys buried there seeing the funny side.
 
Croglin church just gets grazed with sheep every now and then rather than have someone cut it
Sounds like a good idea so long as everyone knows when the sheep will be there. I'm sure family would get upset if they'd put flowers on a grave only for the sheep to be turned in to eat them, so an advance plan of when sheep would be there would be needed.
