Wednesday 29th January - All 25 seen

I must have just missed Tom, as all twenty-five cattle were still gathered on their favourite Sandy Hill corner at 12:30 this afternoon. They were resting and chewing their cud, looking happy, relaxed, and in good condition. They were all very friendly, greeting me warmly as I moved between them for their checks. Several cattle wandered over for extra greetings before enjoying long back rubs. Cows 72 and 211, along with steers 227 and 230, were especially friendly. Youngster 219 was very curious and decided to join in, thoroughly enjoying his first back rub from me. He wriggled enthusiastically to make sure I got all his itchy spots. I said my goodbyes around 13:30, leaving the cattle still resting and contentedly chewing their cud.

The cows were all good today.
