Sunday 13th October - All 25 seen

It was a rare visit, for me anyway, where all twenty-five cows were in the same place at the same time.

Steers 20, 220, 222, 227 and 230 were happily grazing on the slope of Sandy Hill near ///skirting.looms.puffed at 15:30 this afternoon. They were enjoying plenty of heather and leaves from the bushes. After a while, they crossed the path to the west and began grazing in the next section.

About fifteen minutes later, five of the Sussex cattle - cows 211, 212 and 1396, along with steers 197 and 1640 - were grazing at the side of the path near ///newer.lively.stew. They were enjoying the grass. They were all friendly and came over to say hello.

A little later, steers 33, 35, 217 and 219, along with cow 234 and Sussex steers 210 and 1626, were spread out, relaxing and chewing their cud near the pillbox. Steers 21 and 30, along with cow 214, were eating in the gorse bushes behind them. Cows 72 and 940 were resting near their favourite Sandy Hill corner.

Youngster 228 and yearlings 270 and 271 were lying down, relaxing by the side of the path near ///silk.hologram.splat. It was lovely to see the yearlings together, enjoying each other's company.

Just as I was about to leave, cow 214 came out of the gorse bushes to say hello and stood happily while enjoying a back rub. Youngster 219 had wandered off and had nearly caught up with the five Sussex cattle, who were continuing to graze west along Sandy Hill.

The cows were all good today.
