At 10:20 this morning, Sussex steers 197 and 1626, along with cows 211 and 212, were happily grazing at the Royal Pavilion end of the site near ///office.aims.doors. They were enjoying plenty of grass. As usual, cow 211 was very friendly and came over to greet me, offering lovely head rubs and licks. Steers 210 and 1640, along with cow 1396, were grazing around the bramble bushes in the area to the southeast about twenty minutes later.
Cows 72, 234 and 940, along with steers 219 and 222, were lying down snuggled in the bracken near ///watch.interests.testers at 11:05. Older steer 35 was grazing nearby. They all appeared happy and relaxed.
Fifteen minutes later, steers 21, 30, 33, 217, 227 and 230, along with cow 214, were grazing near ///oppose.sniff.wipes. Before long, they settled down to relax and chew their cud, enjoying the rare moments of sunshine. Yearlings 270 and 271, along with steer 220, had been munching on gorse, but soon emerged from the bushes to say hello. They then returned to grazing, enjoying the grass and heather. Around 11:40, steer 227 wandered over to say hello and enjoyed a long neck, shoulder and back rub. He was very relaxed.
Just before noon, I circled back to check on the second group. Older steer 20, who had been grazing in the gorse bushes, had joined them and was now lying down in the heather, chewing his cud. Steer 35 had also settled down to rest.
Contractors were working near ///await.bloomers.ally, cutting and burning scrub. They had a large fire going, which was producing lots of smoke. Meanwhile, the water pipe contractors were laying the section of pipe running uphill between Sandy Hill and Hungry Hill, east of Horse Pond.
The cows were all good today.
