Steers 30 and 219 were found grazing in the thicket on the side of the hill around ///decoded.clash.cube at 11:00 this morning. Steers 21, 35, 217, 220, 222, 228, 270 and 271 were all spread out grazing further west. They were enjoying lots of grass and heather. Despite the frequent rain showers, they were all happy and looking well. There was no noticeable change to the lump on steer 228's face today.
I was just approaching the second group of cows at 11:25 when the heavens opened. Steers 20, 33 and 227 plus cows 214 and 234 who had all been resting, all scrambled for cover under the trees and bushes around ///lucky.corrects.veto. Cows 72 and 940, who were already in the bushes, very kindly let me shelter beside them. Youngster 230 was a little further southwest and had some bushes all to himself. Despite the rain and at one point hailstones, which eased up after about ten minutes, the gang weren't taking any chances and all continued to shelter while relaxing and chewing their cud.
The seven Sussex cattle were just emerging from the bushes around ///slopes.backs.trifle in the pasture to the north of James Bond pond at 11:40. They were all rather damp but looking well. They started to graze, enjoying lots of heather in the surrounding area.
Returning to the second group at noon, and steers 33, 227 and 230 had all come out of the bushes to dry off in the sunshine. Steer 227 enjoyed an ear rub before starting to graze. The others all remained in the bushes, resting and chewing their cud.
The steers from the first group had made it to around ///pits.brotherly.quite on the hill at 12:20. They were continuing to eat on both sides of the path. They were all remarkably dry.
The cows were all good today.
