Cows 72 and 940, along with steers 220 and 228, were grazing west of the pillbox on Sandy Hill at 09:30 this morning. The boys were initially tucked away in the gorse bushes, but soon emerged to greet me and be checked over.
By 09:50, cows 214 and 234, along with steers 227, 230, and 270, were grazing further east on the slope of Sandy Hill near ///cadet.cherry.fence. Youngsters 227 and 230 were especially friendly, happily enjoying back scratches despite being rather wet. All nine cattle were content, relaxed, and in good health.
At 10:20, the seven Sussex cattle and youngster 219 were spread out grazing in the pasture near ///shot.electric.grasp. They were all enjoying plenty of gorse and were happy and relaxed. However, I’ve noticed that the bald patches on their sides and hindquarters are becoming increasingly widespread. Hopefully, the weather will improve soon so they can be sprayed.
The final group of eight steers was found north of the covered reservoir at 11:05, near //kitchen.torso.veto. Steers 33 and 35 were resting and chewing their cud, while the others grazed contentedly despite the frequent showers. Youngster 222 and yearling 271 wisely took shelter shelter among the bushes while munching on gorse.
I suspect youngster 217 may have poked his right eye on some gorse. It appeared slightly teary, and he seemed to prefer keeping it partially closed while resting. However, he could still open it, and there were no obvious signs of injury, redness, or stickiness. I’ll keep a close eye on him tomorrow to ensure it doesn’t develop into a bigger issue.
The cows were all good today.
