Saturday 21st September - late afternoon - All 24 seen

Still concerned about not finding steer 35 earlier, I decided to take advantage of the better weather and try again. Since I had already thoroughly checked the cows earlier, I was able to move a bit faster this time.

Steers 21, 30, 33 and 270, along with cows 72, 214 and 940, were happily grazing in the sunshine near ///hound.laws.according at 17:25.

At 17:40, Sussex steers 1626 and 1640, along with cow 1396, were enjoying the heather near ///transmit.masts.scared.

Shetland steers 217, 219 and 271, Sussex steers 197 and 210, and cows 211 and 212 were grazing near ///radically.from.cost at 17:45.

As I walked west from the Lookout, I finally found who I was looking for, Buzz (steer 35). He was standing atop the hill near ///culling.react.frantic, chewing his cud in the warm sunshine. Buzz wandered over to greet me, allowing me to check him. He was very relaxed and looking great.

On the opposite side of the path, steers 220, 222, 227, 228, and 230 were grazing happily. To my surprise, cow 234 had rejoined them. I had noticed earlier that she didn’t seem too thrilled about joining her new group. Instead of mingling with the others, she came over to me, stood by my side, and began to relax and chew her cud. It was amusing to see her return to her original group 🤭.

The cows were all good this late afternoon.
