Unusually for one of my visits, all twenty-five cattle were gathered together near their favourite Sandy Hill corner at 12:15 this afternoon. The herd was resting and chewing their cud beside the fenced-off area, appearing happy, relaxed, and in good condition. Although there was some occasional jostling for space on the muddy, waterlogged ground, they all remained calm.
As I moved around to check on them, most of the cattle approached to greet me. Steers 227 and 230 were especially friendly, thoroughly enjoying long neck and back rubs as they relaxed. Cow 211 greeted me with a few affectionate head rubs and licks before settling in for a neck rub.
I said my goodbyes shortly after 13:15.
The cows were all good today.
