The eighteen Caesar's original cows were all gathered at the Royal Pavilion end of the site around ///weeks.human.desk at 16:50 this afternoon. Most of the cows were standing under the cover of the trees, sheltering from some passing rain showers. Grace and her colleague hadn't long finished removing the metal tag from Brie's (cow 940) left ear and treating her with some antibiotics. Hopefully, her ear infection will now clear up. We need to keep an eye on Gary (steer 228) to see if the lump on his face continues to be an issue. If it does, the Grazing Team will come back and have another look.
After Grace left, the cows either started eating grass in the surrounding area or began to relax and chew their cud. They were all friendly, with several wanderings over to say hello. Steer 227 enjoyed his usual ear rub. By 17:20 the cows had all lay down except steers 30 and 35, who were still eating and cow 940 was continuing to search for cattle nuts. I looked around and was able to gather a handful of uneaten nuts, which I placed down in front of her. Brie quickly started to eat them and seemed to be enjoying the nuts. They will hopefully cheer her up.
The seven Sussex cattle were found at the west end of Sandy Hill at 17:40. Steer 1626 was initially lying down, relaxing and chewing his cud. The other six were all munching enthusiastically on fresh grass in the area around ///method.grasp.tulip. They were slowly grazing west. Steer 1626 soon wandered along and joined them. Steer 197 and cow 211 took a break and came over to say hello and enjoyed neck rubs. The cows were all happy, relaxed and looking well. They were still eating when I said goodbye, just after 18:10.
The cows were all good today.
