Youngster 228 was relaxing and chewing his cud near ///waffle.scripted.lows, just north of the covered reservoir at 15:50 this afternoon. Yearlings 270 and 271 were nearby, munching on grass, while youngster 220 was grazing in the thicket. All of them were doing well.
Ten minutes later, steers 20, 35, 217, 219, 222, 227 and 230, along with cows 214 and 234, were lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud near ///limits.crash.brisk. It was lovely to see steer 20 back on Caesar's, looking so well. He was lying down, so I didn't get to check his wound, but it was great to see he'd reintegrated into the herd without any issues. Cow 72 was happily grazing nearby. The cows were all relaxed and looking well.
At 16:20, Sussex steers 197 and 1640 were grazing to the south of the reservoir near ///quits.tank.shins. They both came over to say hello and enjoyed a back rub before wandering down toward ///solids.bluff.races, where Sussex steer 210 and cows 211, 212 and 1396 were happily grazing.
I searched the surrounding area for the five missing cows without success. After a very long search of the site, I scanned the area from the higher ground and saw most of the Caesar's original cows grazing in the pasture near ///jetted.slams.tissue at 17:45. There was no sign of steers 21, 30, 33, 1626, or cow 940.
Just before 18:40, I returned to the higher ground and saw steer 21 emerging from the thicket way off in the distance to the north. I made my way down towards the area near ///shipped.monkey.troll and found steers 30 and 33 grazing, with cow 940 nearby. Steer 21 had gone back into the thicket on the opposite side of the path with steer 1626. A few cows were grazing up near the covered reservoir, while the rest remained in the same pasture as earlier. I would love to know where the group of four had been hiding earlier.
The cows were all good today.
