All nineteen cows were found wandering west along Sandy Hill at 09:30 this morning. I met steers 21, 30 and 230 just after the pill box, with the others spread out close by. They were all very chilled out and would walk a bit, stop and graze on some grass, leaves and gorse, before continuing. Several wandered over to say hello as they progressed. Cow 215 and steer 227 were particularly friendly, and both got the loose gorse brushed off their backs, followed by an ear rub.
The cows weren't in any particular hurry today, with the lead group making it to the far end of Sandy Hill by 10.25. Several of the older cows had stopped further back and formed a huddle where they were standing, relaxing while chewing their cud.
Youngster 219 had a small red scratch just above his front right foot (photo below). It looked like he'd likely caught it on a bit of gorse or bramble, just like youngster 220 did a couple of days ago. It wasn't causing him any issues, though.
The cows were all good today.
