Cows 214 and 234, along with steer 222, were grazing on their favourite Sandy Hill corner at 10:30 this morning. They were very friendly, coming over to say hello and enjoy a few strokes. Youngster 222 particularly enjoyed a long neck scratch, which also helped keep the flies at bay. Nearby, youngsters 219 and 228 were grazing to the east, while older steers 20 and 30 were further east near Hungry Hill, munching on leaves. Youngster 219 also enjoyed a long back scratch while resting in the sunshine. All seven were happy, relaxed, and looking well.
By 11:15, a group of six came wandering along Sandy Hill from the west, stopping near the pillbox. Several paused for a drink from a large puddle before rejoining the others. Steers 21, 220, and 230, along with cow 940, began to graze, enjoying the fresh grass, while cow 72 and steer 227 chose to relax and chew their cud. Both thoroughly enjoyed long back and neck rubs. There were plenty of flies about, and many of the cows came to stand beside me, seeking a little relief. The group were all healthy, content and in good spirits.
At 11:40, steers 35, 217, 270, and 271 were resting further west along Sandy Hill near ///edge.warns.poorly. They were all relaxing and chewing their cud in the shade of some large trees near the perimeter fence. All four were content, relaxed, and in good condition.
Just after midday, older steer 33 and the seven Sussex cattle were grazing in the wooded area near ///canal.scores.easels, close to Beacon Hill Road. They were enjoying a good mix of grass and leaves from a variety of plants and bushes. It was pleasantly cool in the shade, with very few flies to trouble them. They were all happy, relaxed, and looking well as they grazed steadily to the north. I said my goodbyes at 12:40, leaving them peacefully grazing.
The cows were all good today.
