The same with scything meadows. Apparently if you let a meadow uncut, the plant/biodiversity rapidly declines. Anecdotally I've found this to be true, my grandparents had mountain meadows that they didn't harvest for tens of

You also have to remove the male testicles if you want to eat their meat/if you have multiple males. My grandfather used to do it for the whole village and his only reward was the testicles themselves, which I remember were quite tasty
