Fifteen members of the Caesar's original herd were grazing near ///hacksaw.pixies.pose in the pasture north of the covered reservoir at 10:10 this morning. Despite the strong winds and rain brought by Storm Darragh, they appeared unbothered, using the dip in the land to shield themselves from the worst of the wind. The cattle were spread out, happily enjoying the abundant heather and gorse. Although wet, they were all friendly and came over to greet me as I checked on them. They all looked really well.
Steers 35 and 227 were grazing to the east near ///golf.dozed.folks at 10:50. They slowly made their way along to join the others. Youngster 227, despite being soaked, still enjoyed a neck and back rub, seeming to appreciate having the water brushed off his coat before I ruffled it to help him dry. Both steers looked healthy and in good condition.
At 11:20, older steer 21 and the seven Sussex cattle were grazing among the gorse bushes west of the pillbox on Sandy Hill. One by one, they emerged to greet me and be checked. It was nice to see that they were not as wet as the first group of seventeen. After our greetings, most of the group began grazing on the grass. However, when the rain intensified around noon, they moved back into the gorse for shelter. Cow 211 was her usual friendly self, thoroughly enjoying a neck rub and giving me a few licks in return. The group of eight appeared relaxed and in good health.
The cows were all good today.
