Firstly I would like to say thanks you to everyone that has tried to ring me or has blogged over the last couple of days about the escaped cattle, I can't phone you all personally to say thanks so i will do it here.
Thanks you.
So starting on Tuesday night i went out at about 18.30 to four cows out and a lot of fencing damaged or down, Guy was the kind enough to come and meet me with enough supplies whilst I waited and kept guard on them and kept them in the laurel and not on the road. We patched up the fence with he help of a local who was kind enough to hold a torch which helped.
Yesterday we had another call out and went back to the same location, by Enterprise, to find more fence down and another load of cattle out. We moved them into the site and shored up the fence with a load of posts. There is only so much any fence can take when a load of cattle are leaning on it to get to forage they want so we decided to move the offenders into the Gelvert Catchment area until there is more forage on Caesars (hopefully not ling now).
Anyway on our way we accumulated another group and moved them through to GCA with the original offenders, there was no splitting them at this point.
Though it was a bit mad and i think we have all the numbers of cattle that moved and will take these off this blog and add them to the GCA blog.
If you find that this does not correlate with what you find at all please advise.
Many thanks again
Ian
