A mixed group of eleven cows were spread out, busy grazing in the area around ///recur.strict.allow at 10:00 this morning. After a short while, several cows took shade from the warm sun under the trees, where they stood and chewed their cud. Youngsters 217, 228 and 230 plus yearling 271 all lay down together in the shade.
I was happy to see that nine of the cows had moved out of the sun to the cover of the trees at the far side of Horse Pond when I circled back round at 11:35. They were all standing, relaxing and looked OK. Youngsters 222 and 230 were having a swim in Horse Pond and were munching on lily pads 😀.
The final four were found amongst the trees around ///appeal.clean.these at 12:05 this afternoon. Older cows 30 and 940 were lying down, resting. Older cow 72 and youngster 220 were standing chewing their cud. Youngster 220 soon lay down too. They weren't bothered in the slightest by the shooting, bangs and shouting from the army, who were carrying out some practice close by.
The army had also commandeered the cow shed and were using it to run their operations.
The cows were all good today and were seeking shade from the very warm weather.
