Hello
I'm afraid that the tests on the second dead cow have come back positive for lead poisoning.
This means that we may have to move the cattle off the site until we can locate and deal with the cause. The farmer will make a decision this weekend, and I will let you know what he has decided to do. They are likely to go to another site that we look after, Hawley Common near Yateley.
I would like to organise a search for the source of the lead. It is likely to be the same stuff that we had a couple of years ago, and hopefully in a similiar location. I have had a fairly good search but found nothing yet.
I would like to organise another search on Tuesday afternoon at 1pm. Volunteers would be very welcome, meeting in the layby opposite the Total garage on Odiham Road.
In the mean time, we have checked the cattle and all seem well. Please keep an eye out for erratic behaviour.
I'll keep you posted.
Many thanks
Alex
