As time went on Lesley got fed up with having to drop her own projects she was working on and rush over to Bancroft to repair the cows. It got to the point where even the mention of the cows would drive her to despair.

Over the years a number of unfortunate things have happened to the cows, they have been stolen, had 'pyjamas' painted on them, BSE graffiti and Lesley has even had to rebuild them after they were beheaded.
