Saturday 10th May - All 25 seen

All eighteen members of the Caesar's original herd were back together near the cow shed at 09:30 this morning. It was especially nice to see cows 72 and 940 reunited. Most of the group were either standing inside or just in front of the shed, though they frequently changed positions. Many were very friendly and came over to say hello and enjoy a few strokes. Several of the younger cattle were particularly affectionate, happily accepting long head and neck rubs, which also gave them some relief from the flies. After a while, older steers 20, 21, and 35 wandered over to the far side of the wooden bridge, where they lay down in the shade to peacefully chew their cud.

By 11:00, the whole group had moved west to graze near ///copes.daunted.bolt. A few ventured out into the warm sunshine to munch on the fresh grass, while most preferred to stay in the shade, happily browsing on leaves in the thicket. All eighteen were happy, relaxed, and looking well.

At 11:15, the seven Sussex cattle were grazing contentedly around their favourite Sandy Hill corner. Most were enjoying the fresh grass but paused to say hello and receive a few strokes. Cow 211 came and joined me on the corner and enjoyed a long, relaxing back rub while she rested and chewed her cud. After a while, she lay down right in front of me and happily continued receiving a neck rub. All seven were happy, healthy, and in good condition.

Just before noon, the Sussex cattle gathered together under the shade of the trees near ///speak.than.gratuity. They started to relax and chew their cud, huddling together for a bit of relief from the persistent flies. I said my goodbyes a little while later.

The cows were all good today.
