Tuesday 10th December - All 25 seen

Cow 940 was happily grazing on Sandy Hill near ///silk.hologram.splat at 11:20 this morning, enjoying plenty of grass. Thirteen others were nearby, either grazing among the gorse bushes to the north or on the slope of Sandy Hill. All were friendly, approaching to say hello as I checked on them. Youngster 228 looked really well today, with no noticeable changes to his lump, which is excellent news. Youngster 227 was the last to appear, emerging from the gorse bushes at their favourite Sandy Hill corner around 11:40. He greeted me warmly and enjoyed a long back rub. All fourteen cattle appeared happy, relaxed and in good condition.

Older steer 30 and yearling 271 were happily grazing in the gorse bushes further west along Sandy Hill near ///static.lodge.dust at noon. A short time later, yearling 270 was seen grazing lower down the slope on the opposite side of the path near ///masking.joked.fuse. All three were happy and healthy.

At 12:25, Sussex steers 197, 210, 1626, and 1640, along with cows 212 and 1396, were grazing among the gorse bushes near ///fires.keep.faces. Though spread out, they were all thoroughly enjoying the crunchy gorse. They were very friendly, popping their heads out of the bushes to greet me. Nearby, older steer 21 and cow 211 were grazing to the west near ///riots.live.birds. Cow 211 came out of the bushes for a friendly hello and a long back rub before settling down in the bracken to rest. All eight were looking well.

As I was leaving just after 13:00, the group of fourteen were still grazing on Sandy Hill, slowly moving east toward Hungry Hill.

The cows were all good today.
