Cows 72, 234 and 940, along with steers 20, 30, 220, 222 and 270, were resting under the trees near ///tune.rocks.pages at 14:10 this afternoon. They were relaxing and chewing their cud. Steer 230 hadn't long got up and came over to say hello, enjoying a back rub. Steer 21 was sitting alone on the other side of the path. They were all happy, relaxed and looking well.
Six Sussex cattle were grazing on the bank near ///list.caps.grub at 14:30. Shortly after, they moved west into the pasture, where they enjoyed plenty of grass. Cow 211 was her usual friendly self and came over to say hello and enjoy a back scratch, offering gentle head rubs and licks in return. The others, steers 197, 210 and 1640, along with cows 212 and 1396, were all doing well.
At some point, Sussex steer 1626 had managed to escape and was spotted near the traffic lights on Farnborough Road at ///wedge.handy.proper. A concerned member of the public was also looking for him. By the time I found him, just before 15:00, he was back on the site near ///cheat.idea.spit. Unfortunately, the tracking app hadn't been accurately reporting his location. I guided him back toward the other Sussex cattle, who came to meet him near ///tanks.play.from at 15.15.
Later, at 15:30, steers 33, 35, 217, 219, 227 and 271, along with cow 214, were grazing on the side of Sandy Hill near ///yard.rots.built, enjoying the heather. They were very friendly and came over to greet me. Steer 227 particularly enjoyed a back rub while he grazed. They all appeared happy and healthy.
After checking on the cows, I went back and checked the fence line for any breaks. While I couldn't pinpoint where steer 1626 had escaped, I did identify three areas in need of repair. Photos and locations have been shared with Tom.
The cows were all good today. It's great to hear that steer 228 is receiving treatment for the lump on his face. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery so he can rejoin us on Caesar's.
