At 10:15 this morning, six of the Sussex cattle were grazing among the gorse bushes near ///tango.habits.harmless at the Shell garage end of the site. Slowly, they emerged to say hello and have the gorse brushed off their backs. Steers 197, 210, 1626, and 1640, along with cows 212 and 1396, were all looking well. At 10:40, a loud moo from the southeast caught my attention. I wandered over to find cow 211 and steers 21 and 33 approaching. Cow 211 came straight over to greet me, offering head rubs and licks, before enjoying a back scratch. Meanwhile, the boys disappeared into the gorse.
At 11:05, cows 72 and 234 were found munching on leaves in the wooded area near ///flies.whips.thrashed. I noticed cow 234 had what looked like a tick bite near her front right "armpit", but she was otherwise good. Steers 20, 219, and 271 soon emerged from the thicket to the north and joined the girls. A little later, I climbed the hill and found cow 214 at the top. After enjoying a back rub, she too disappeared into the thicket. Hearing more cattle but unable to see them, I returned to the bottom and found steer 30 grazing deep in the bushes. By 11:30, steers 217, 220, and 222 had also emerged and joined the group, all enjoying a feast of leaves.
Cow 940 and yearling 270 were grazing near ///easels.rips.dignify on the side of Sandy Hill at 11:40. The unlikely duo were enjoying lots of heather. Yearling 270 took a break to say hello before returning to grazing. Both looked happy, relaxed and in good condition.
The final three were found near ///perused.month.comply, south of James Bond Pond at noon. Youngster 230 was enjoying lots of heather, while youngster 227 was lying down relaxing nearby. Older steer 35 was busy grooming himself before relaxing and chewing his cud. They boys were all looking well.
The cows were all good today.
