Steers 20 and 30 were resting in the heather near ///reef.sport.proudest at 16.45 this afternoon. Both were relaxed and looking well. Steer 33 was grazing in the nearby bushes, while steers 35 and 228 were in the pasture to the north. By 17:00 the boys had got up and, along with steer 33, began making their way through the bracken to join steers 35 and 228.
Meanwhile, youngsters 227 and 230 were grazing near the path at ///inert.viewers.crypt. They paused for a drink from the puddles before heading towards the second group of cows. However, they stopped to greet me and both enjoyed some back scratches.
By 17:10, steers 21, 217, 219, 220, 222, 270 and 271, along with cows 72, 214, 234 and 940, were spread out grazing in the pasture near ///wades.flux.weeds. Most were enjoying the heather. All were happy, relaxed and healthy. Although there haven't been many flies recently, steer 219's eye hasn't improved much. Hopefully, it will start to get better soon.
At 17:45, Sussex steer 1640 was grazing near the path by ///treatable.sung.weedy at the Shell garage end of the site. The other six cattle were deep in the gorse bushes on both sides of the path. By 17:55, cow 211 and steers 197 and 1626 emerged from the bushes and started to gather. Cow 211 came over to say hello and was happy to have the gorse brushed off her back. Soon after, the group seemed to lose track of the others and wandered off to the southwest, occasionally mooing as they searched for them.
The remaining three Sussexes, cows 212 and 1396, along with steer 210, were still grazing in the gorse bushes near ///gems.swam.feast. They emerged around 18:30 and followed a path through the bushes to the same path where steer 1640 was found earlier. Once together, they all began grazing. I said my goodbyes around ten minutes later.
The cows were all good today.
