Hello all,
As planned we rounded up the cattle today and walked them into the neighbouring site Gelvert Catchment Area, where, once united with Gelverts herd, we led them to Camp 45 (the meadow adjacent to Bourley Road.
There is plenty of grass in tehre and the gelvert stream flows through it.
They will be visited by the vet on Monday and given a small amount of TB. they will then be visited again on Thursday where their reaction will be monitored and will be used to determine if they have TB or not. We try to operate a closed herd which limits any unwanted exposure between our cattle and other farmers cattle. We also hope their varied diet and ability to freely roam ensures they are fit and well to fit things off, but one never knows so fingers crossed!
Assuming they are given the all clear they will be returned the following week.
Enjoy your week off
Elliott
