Sunday 12th January - All 25 seen

Fourteen cattle were grazing in the wooded area near ///fake.speedily.talker, close to the Shell garage, at 10:00 this morning. They were enjoying plenty of leaves from the bushes and gorse. All were friendly and came to greet me, with several enjoying strokes. By the time I left the group at 10:45, they had emerged from the trees and had started grazing together, slowly moving northwest. All fourteen were happy, relaxed, and in good condition.

Youngster 219's right foot was good today, as he moved easily through the thicket and climbed banks without issue. Additionally, there was no sign of the tick bite on yearling 270's left shoulder.

While making my way west to check on the second group of cattle, I heard loud moos and went to investigate. I found cow 214 alone near ///input.canoe.eager at 10:50. As I got near, she mooed again and wandered east, seemingly searching for the other cows. However, she soon stopped and let me approach, allowing me to give her a quick back rub to help her relax. Afterwards, she followed me back to the first group, who were now near ///query.comet.impulse just after 11:00. Once she was settled, I continued to the second group.

Sussex steers 197, 210, and 1626, along with cows 212 and 1396, were grazing in the gorse bushes near ///reshape.mango.ivory at 11:15. Cow 211 was on nibbling the heather across the path but soon came over to say hello. Steer 1640 was grazing slightly further east of the group of the main group. British White cow 234 was eating alone in the gorse bushes to the south, near ///rules.known.quality at 11:35. While I felt bad that cow 214 had wandered off earlier and left her behind, cow 234 appeared content grazing alone, and I'm confident she will rejoin one of the groups soon.

The final two herd members, steers 20 and 35, were found near ///snips.valued.look at 11:55. Steer 35 was relaxing and chewing his cud, while steer 20 was nearby, happily munching on gorse. Both were both happy, relaxed, and looking well.

The cows were all good today.
