Cows 33, 214, 217, 220, 228, 234 and 271 were all together around ///stop.miles.swing at 11:10 this morning. A few were grazing, with the others preferring to stand, relax and chew their cud. They were all looking well. Youngster 220 wandered off to graze in the gorse bushes to the south-west, where youngster 215 and yearling 270 were found.
Youngster 215 was full of beans today. After coming out of the gorse bushes, she did a hop, skip and a jump and galloped to the other seven who had started wandering down towards the cow shed. She stopped briefly, before galloping off again, causing the others to chase after her. They had stopped at the cow shed when I caught up with them. She then started play fighting with yearling 271 before coming over to say hello to me. Youngster 220 and yearling 270 came running about five minutes later and joined the group.
Cow 940 was grazing around ///armed.suits.school on Sandy Hill at 12.15. Cow 72 was in the gorse bushes behind her. Steers 21, 35, 222 and 230 were all grazing on the far side of the gorse bushes, at the top of the slope of the hill. Steers 20, 219 and 230 were grazing at the bottom of the slope, at the side of the path on Longbottom. Steer 30 was buried deep in the gorse bushes close by. When I returned to the top of the hill, steer 35 had emerged from the gorse bushes.
As I arrived at the site, I noticed that gate 19 off of Bourley Road (the first on the left-hand side past the Pavilion) was lying wide open. It was still open forty-five minutes later with no one in the vicinity. I closed it over and reported it to the MOD Operations Room, who said they would get someone out to lock it.
The cows were all good today and seemed a lot happier now that Storm Henk had passed.
