Steers 21, 35, 217, 220, 222, 230, 270 and 271 were well spread out, grazing in the gorse bushes around ///liver.float.sung at 10:50 this morning. I was surprised how dry they were, considering the heavy overnight and early morning rain. They were all happy, relaxed and looking well. I spent quite a while searching for older steer 33 in the thicket, only to discover he had swapped groups since Thursday evening.
Steers 33 and 228 plus cow 72 were relaxing and chewing their cud on Sandy Hill around ///rebel.senders.whom at 12:10. They were looking well. Steer 219 and cow 940 were happily eating grass a little further west along the hill. All five soon joined up and wandered west to the very end of the hill, where they continued to graze. Older steers 20 and 30 were found grazing in the gorse bushes at the bottom of the hill around ///intent.making.rural a while later.
After a long search, I found cows 211 and 1396 munching on heather in the area around ///rifled.crumple.hook just along from the Lookout at 13:55. I got a lovely welcome from cow 211, with her coming straight over to say hello and giving my hand several licks. She was happy to receive a head rub in return. The other five Sussex cows were grazing in the gorse bushes in the area behind. They slowly came out and all joined up, with the sun making a rare appearance for a while. The cows were all happy and relaxed and looking okay. Unfortunately, they had more bald patches on them today.
As I was leaving site at 14:30, I ran into the first eight steers again in the area around ///vows.walks.shirts. They were all lying down, resting and chewing their cud. They had made beds out of the bracken. The two yearlings were looking very relaxed.
The cows were all good today.
