Thursday 24th April - All 25 seen

Youngsters 217, 222, 228, and 230, along with yearlings 270 and 271, were relaxing and chewing their cud near ///grins.printer.apron at 16:40 this afternoon. Nearby, cow 214 and steer 220 were grazing in the bushes to the northeast. Despite there being quite a few flies around today, the cattle didn't seem particularly bothered. They were all happy, relaxed, and in good condition.

At 17:05, steers 21, 33, and 219, along with cows 72 and 234, were lying down and relaxing near ///offers.gums.perfectly. Most were chewing their cud, while a couple dozed in the sunshine. Older steer 30 was grazing to the north. By 17:25, most of them had risen and wandered off to graze in the shade to the southwest. They were all happy, healthy and content.

A little later, cow 940 was grazing by herself on the hill to the southeast, near ///media.rigs.tester. She was enjoying plenty of leaves from the trees before moving on to munch on some heather. She came over for a quick hello before returning to her grazing. While she still shows a loss of condition, she's eating well, moving around comfortably, and seems generally content.

Further northeast, steers 20, 35, and 227 were happily grazing near ///apricot.grub.other. Steer 227 was especially friendly, coming over for a long neck and back rub while resting in the sunshine. The group then made their way toward cow 940, joining her by 17:55. After pausing for a drink at a large puddle near ///hack.diets.fresh, they headed off toward the other cattle still grazing among the trees.

At 18:20, the seven Sussex cattle were well spread out, grazing among the trees southeast of the Sandy Bowl, near ///slurs.drove.duck. They were foraging contentedly in the thicket, enjoying a good variety of plants and leaves in the cool shade. As usual, they were friendly, coming over to say hello and receive a few strokes. They all appeared happy, relaxed, and in good health.

The cows were all good today.
