The original eighteen Caesar's cows were all resting in the trees to the west of Horse Pond at 16:35 this afternoon. The majority were lying down, either snoozing or relaxing and chewing their cud. The cows would occasionally get up and have a stretch, before repositioning and lying back down. Inevitably, there were a large number of flies around. Despite the very warm conditions, they were all looking good. Cow 940 was lying down and relaxing, so I didn't get a chance to see how her leg was doing.
The seven Sussex cattle were together at the far western end of the site, around ///vanished.stir.costly at 18:10. They were all happily grazing. It felt a lot cooler at that end of the site, and there were definitely fewer flies. By 18:25 the youngsters 197, 210, 211 and 212 had all wandered out to the main path and were eating fresh grass as they headed west towards Beacon Hill Road. All seven were happy, relaxed and looking well.
After checking the first group of cows, I climbed up to Sandy Hill and found one of the kissing gates had been pushed beyond its front post. Thank you to Tom for coming over and getting the gate back between its posts.
The cows were all good today.
