Monday 24th March - All 25 seen

Twelve members of the original Caesar's herd were lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud near ///squirted.readily.drop, southwest of Horse Pond, at 13:40 this afternoon. Youngster 217 was happily munching on heather in the background. They were all happy, relaxed, and looking well.

By 13:55, youngsters 219, 220, and 222 appeared at the top of Sandy Hill and made their way down the slope, grazing on heather as they came. They soon lay down among the others and started to relax. Youngster 219's leg was completely fine today, with no sign of yesterday's scratch.

At 14:10, older steer 21 was standing and chewing his cud at the top of Sandy Hill near ///tightrope.cage.frowns. Sussex steer 210 and cow 212 were resting a little further east. They were all happy and healthy. While checking on them, I heard distant mooing and spotted yearling 270 slowly making his way along the path on the east side of Horse Pond. He had clearly become separated from the herd again and was heading back.

As I reached the final five Sussexes, the sun made a welcome appearance. They were all lying comfortably in the bracken, chewing their cud near ///stood.caramel.sigh on Bricksbury Hill at 14:20. All five were happy, relaxed, and well. 

Returning to the main group at 14:35, yearling 270 had settled down and was happily chewing his cud in the sunshine. Older steer 21 was also lying down with the group, while the two Sussexes grazed among the heather on the slope.

The cows were all good today.
