Sunday 9th February - All 25 seen

Steers 21, 35, 217, 222, and 271 were grazing near ///glad.spit.codes at 10:30 this morning. Though slightly damp, they were all happy, relaxed, and in good health. Youngster 217's eye was completely fine today, showing no signs of yesterday's issue. He spotted me and came over to say hello before returning to graze in the gorse bushes.

Further south, older steers 20, 30, and 33 were grazing deep in the gorse bushes near ///alive.froth.lamps at 10:50. They didn't seem in any hurry to come out and were tricky to reach, but all three were happy and looked well. I returned to find them out in the open near ///tubes.limit.twigs at noon. Steers 30 and 33 were munching on heather, while steer 20 stood watching over the site as he relaxed and chewed his cud.

At 11:20, cows 72, 214, 234, and 940, along with steers 220, 227, 228, 230, and 271, were spread out grazing among the gorse bushes near ///horn.port.cured on Hungry Hill. They were all very friendly and came over to greet me, with youngsters 227 and 230 enjoying long back rubs. By 11:45, they began emerging from the bushes, with several taking big drinks from the large puddles. Youngster 220 settled down to rest and chew his cud. All nine cattle were content, relaxed, and in good health.

Steers 210 and 219 were happily grazing near ///rollers.sulk.skate at the Shell garage end of the site at 12:30, enjoying plenty of gorse. The remaining six Sussex cattle were resting a little further east near ///decent.easily.toast. They were all happy and relaxed. Cow 211 was especially affectionate today, thoroughly enjoying having the sides of her neck and back scratched before rewarding me with gentle head rubs and plenty of licks. After a while, steers 210 and 219 joined the others and soon started to relax. I said my goodbyes at 13:00, leaving them peacefully resting and chewing their cud.

The cows were all good today.
