Steers 21, 30, 35, 220, 228 and cow 72 were all spread out munching on heather, gorse and leaves from the trees around ///cafe.mile.trim at 09:25 this morning. Steer 227 was with them, but he came out of the thicket and onto the main path to say hello. Like the others, he was damp but was looking well. There was no sign of his tick bite today.
Steers 20 and 230 plus cow 940 were all foraging for acorns in the area around ///gear.linen.clash at 09.45. Youngster 215 and yearlings 270 and 271 were doing the same on the opposite side of the main path. They were all happy and relaxed. Heavy rain started at 09:55, causing steers 21, 30, 35 and 228 to come and join this group. They all continued to forage for acorns, under the cover of the trees. I stayed with them for a while, hoping the rain would pass, which sadly it didn't.
The other six, cows 33, 214, 217, 219, 222 and 234, were found down near the Bourley Road car park at 10:25. They were all very wet despite being under the cover of trees. They were all munching on leaves and other vegetation, with the occasional bit of acorn hunting thrown in for good measure. At about 10:50, youngster 222 wandered off on his own to the area in front of the cow shed, where he foraged for acorns. The other five stood under the shelter of the trees, relaxing and chewing their cud.
The cows were all good today despite the wet weather.
