Six of the Sussexes were happily grazing near ///apple.dorms.anyone, close to the Shell garage, at 10:45 this morning. Steers 197 and 210 were deep among the gorse bushes, while cow 212 and steer 1640 nibbled on gorse at the edge. Meanwhile, cows 211 and 1396 were enjoying plenty of grass. They were all very friendly, coming over to greet me and enjoy some strokes. All six were happy, relaxed, and in good health.
At 11:30, the eighteen members of the Caesar's original herd, along with Sussex steer 1626, were spread out grazing near the pillbox on Sandy Hill. Many were grazing in the gorse bushes, but gradually emerged to say hello and enjoy the sunshine. Others were enjoying plenty of fresh grass near the path. Steer 227 and cow 234 were resting in the sunshine on their favourite Sandy Hill corner, contentedly chewing their cud. Cow 72 enjoyed a long, relaxing back rub while resting, while cow 940 grazed alongside her. There wasn't much change to the scrape on cow 940's side, and I've included a new photo below for reference.
By 12:10, steers 222 and 230 were lying down, relaxing at the bottom of the slope near ///helped.prestige.will, with steer 35 grazing nearby. At one point, steer 35 got a little too close to youngster 222, causing him to jump up to move out of his way. This gave me a good opportunity to check his ankle, which was completely fine today. On the opposite side of the path, older steer 21 was comfortably resting in the bracken, while steer 30 grazed nearby.
Steers 20 and 1626 were deep in the gorse bushes at the top of the slope, showing no interest in coming out. I ventured in to check on them and found them both perfectly fine.
When I returned to the top of the hill at 12:25, steers 227 and 234 had wandered over and settled down near cow 72, relaxing and chewing their cud.
The cows were all good today.
