Steers 220 and 270 were grazing in the thicket at the west end of Sandy Hill at 12:35 this afternoon. A short while later, steers 217, 228, and 271, along with cow 214, were resting a bit further east near ///times.exhale.wimp.
The remaining nineteen cattle were happily grazing on the slope of Sandy Hill, gradually making their way down to the pasture near ///routs.stacks.fights. Several paused for drinks from the large puddles, settling in to graze on the heather. The cattle were all friendly, with many wandering over to greet me and enjoy some strokes and back scratches. The group slowly made their way up the hill before starting to lie down, relax, and chew their cud near ///hobbies.output.blurs. They were all happy, relaxed, and in good health.
At around 13:30, youngster 217 made his way down from Sandy Hill to join the main group. However, youngster became 220 separated from the others that remained on the hill. I found him at 13:40, lying down alone but looking very cosy in the bracken near ///deprives.roof.even. He was absolutely fine though, happily chewing his cud. Meanwhile, the other four were much further east along Sandy Hill near ///farms.butlers.haven at 13:55, munching on gorse and heather. They looked like they were getting ready to descend the slope and rejoin the others.
The cows were all good today.
UPDATE: I kept an eye on the grazing map when I got home, and was delighted to see youngster 220 get up and wander down the hill to join the rest of the herd.
