The cattle were in four groups near James Bond Pond - three to the north and one group of ten to the south. They were all happy, relaxed, and in good condition. Most were resting in the sunshine before it clouded over and got a bit windy.

The cattle were all good today. They were all at the Shell garage end of the site in multiple smaller groups. They were all very friendly and were enjoying the warm sunshine.

Before I left, twenty of the cattle had come together to rest, before moving into the lower ground. There most continued to graze, with a few lying down to rest. The remaining five Sussex cattle continued to graze in the area near Odiham Road. I said my goodbyes just after 13:00, leaving them all happy and content.

Wednesday 11th March - All 25 seen

At 15:30 this afternoon, the cattle were well spread out grazing in the sunshine near ///less.hype.gloom, west of Horse Pond. Most were enjoying plenty of heather, with a few browsing the gorse deep in the nearby bushes. The cattle were moving around frequently and shifting between groups throughout the afternoon.

The seven Sussex cattle were grazing with cows 72 and 940, along with youngster 219, on the hillside to the southwest. All ten were very friendly, wandering down to greet me and enjoy plenty of strokes and rubs. Afterwards, it was lovely to watch the Sussex cattle kicking up their heels, bucking and bronking together in the sunshine. The whole group then moved south, pausing for drinks from puddles along the path before continuing to graze on the hillside beyond. They were later joined by steer 20, who emerged from the nearby gorse bushes.

By 16:10, a group of ten cattle had begun browsing among the thicket under the trees to the northwest, near ///tinny.enlarge.grasp. Steers 21, 30, 33, 35, 217, 220, 227, and 230, along with cows 214 and 234, were happily stripping leaves from the surrounding bushes. They all looked relaxed, content, and in good condition as I made my way around checking on them.

At 16:40, I found youngster 222 grazing near ///exits.tasters.grow. He was quick to come over for some attention, thoroughly enjoying a long neck and back scratch. He was very affectionate, nudging me with gentle head rubs to encourage me to keep going. Afterwards, he followed me over to the pasture to the west, where steers 35, 217, 220, 228, 270, 271, and 1626 were grazing northwest of the pond.

By 17:30, the remaining six Sussex cattle were grazing near ///officers.broke.growl. I returned to spend some more time with them, with cow 211 especially eager for more scratches. After a while, cow 940 wandered down the hill to join us, with cow 72 and steers 20 and 219, grazing nearby. I said my goodbyes at 17:50, leaving them all peacefully grazing in the setting sun.

The cows were all good today.
