Monday 30th June - All 25 seen

 Between 14:00 - 15:30

All have been found in two groups this afternoon. 

All 7 of the Sussex’s were found in the trees at ///plant.fields.fines which is just behind the small car park on the Bourley Road. 

The remaining 18 were all near the Shell station at ///navigate.flagging.depending most were within the trees with the few that weren’t making their way to shade. Approx 30c today so good to see them all in the shade or at least heading towards it.

All the cattle were looking good today despite the soaring temperatures.

At 09:35 this morning, eleven members of the Caesar's original herd were happily grazing in the wooded area near ///spirit.driven.flips. Cow 72 was last to join them, preferring instead to browse leaves from the trees on the large island by the Sandy Bowl. Over time, the group gradually moved out into the open and into the large pasture to the southwest, where they continued grazing on long grass and heather. Several were very friendly, coming over to say hello and enjoying a few strokes and rubs. I left them peacefully grazing near ///reframe.nudge.earl at 10:20. All eleven were happy, relaxed, and looking well.

At 10:25, youngsters 217, 220, and 227 were grazing contentedly near ///legal.store.spoon. Although only about 200 metres south of the first group, they were happily keeping to themselves, enjoying the fresh grass. Older steer 35 was grazing alone at the bottom of the hill near ///woes.test.rock, while older steer 20 was happily eating near ///bunk.swing.store, around 150 metres northeast of the youngsters. Older steers 21 and 33 were grazing even further north. Despite being quite spread out, all seven were happy, relaxed, and looking well.

By 10:55, the seven Sussex cattle had gathered by the trees west of Horse Pond, joined by nine members of the first group. The Sussexes had wandered down from grazing in the thicket to the east of the Lookout earlier. Cow 211 was especially friendly, coming over for strokes and offering head rubs and licks in return. Steers 197 and 1640 were lying down in the shade, chewing their cud and relaxing. All seven were happy, healthy, and looking well.

Meanwhile, youngsters 222 and 230 had ventured into Horse Pond for a swim, happily nibbling at water lilies while cooling off — both clearly enjoying themselves.

The cows were all good today.

At 09:15 this morning, the seven Sussex cattle were spread out grazing on the slope of Sandy Hill, near ///chess.wiggling.rigid. They were enjoying the long grass growing among the bracken. All were very friendly, coming over to say hello as I moved among them to check they were okay. All seven were happy, relaxed, and in good condition.

At 10:00, fourteen members of the Caesar's original herd were grazing contentedly as they climbed the hill, near ///fury.failed.upper. With a few flies about, they were making good use of the dense bracken, with some almost disappearing from sight. Most of the group came over to greet me, with several enjoying a few strokes before continuing on. They gradually made their way east, crossing the swampy ground with ease, with many pausing for a drink at the spring. All fourteen were calm, content, and looking well.

By 10:45, youngsters 227 and 230 were grazing further east among the thick bracken near ///trickles.yummy.relate. Both stopped their grazing to come over and greet me. The final two — older steers 21 and 35 — were grazing about 100 metres to the southeast, near ///sling.aimed.school. They were happy, relaxed and in good health. I said my goodbyes at 11:10, leaving them all peacefully grazing.

I noted that the second burnt-out car is still on-site, and work has yet to begin on the permanent repairs to the damaged fencing.

The cows were all good today.
