Sunday 23rd February - All 25 seen

The eighteen members of the Caesar's original herd were spread out grazing north of the covered reservoir near Bourley Road at 09:55 this morning. They were enjoying plenty of gorse and heather for their breakfast. Yearling 270 took a break to come over and say hello, happily accepting a few head scratches. I was relieved to find no trace of the cut on yearling 219's left rear leg. He started the morning grazing deep in the gorse bushes before emerging to munch on grass. He was very friendly and came over to greet me, moving around normally and looking great. The cattle were happy, relaxed, and in good health.

By 10:50, most of the herd had moved south towards the covered reservoir, either grazing on the slope leading up to it or making their way through the swampy ground to the east. However, a group of six remained behind. Cow 940 lay down in the bracken near ///noun.waltzed.exotic, relaxing and chewing her cud. Steers 20 and 35, along with cow 234, grazed deep in the gorse bushes to the southeast, while steers 21 and 219 continued grazing near the path.

The seven Sussex cattle were together on Sandy Hill near ///clown.tubes.informer at 11:30. Most were happily grazing on grass and gorse, while cows 211 and 1396 chose to rest. Cow 211 was especially friendly, offering licks and head rubs, while enjoying a long neck and ear rub. The group slowly moved west, frequently stopping to nibble on the vegetation growing beyond the fence line. They also took a refreshing drink from the deep puddles before I said my goodbyes just after noon.

The cows were all good today.
