Got out for some site checks today. Found the seven youngsters up on the firebreak on Sandy Hill behind the houses. They're losing condition a bit but not too bad currently. I put a lick out for them there.
The other nine were all over near the Bourley Road not far from the covered reservoir. I put another lick out there for this lot to go at.
Quite a few of these older cattle have got some bare patches coming through on their necks. It might be that they are beginning to moult but we'll keep an eye on the situation in case there's a bout of mites coming through.
I also noticed a few of the larger Shetlands have got some ticks already too.
Other than that they're good and were really nice and relaxed as usual today.
