Friday 20th June - All 25 seen

I was passing by Caesar’s Camp this afternoon and decided to stop for an extra check on the cattle in the hot weather.

Just before 16:00, the eighteen members of the original Caesar’s herd, along with Sussex cow 1396 and steer 1626, were resting in the shade of the trees to the east of James Bond Pond. Most were lying down, either dozing or contentedly chewing their cud. At one point, older steer 21 lay fully stretched out on his side, closing his eyes for a while. All twenty were in good condition and were coping well with the heat.

By 16:40, the five remaining Sussex cattle were happily grazing among the bracken northeast of Horse Pond near ///tame.playroom.duke, where a light breeze helped take the edge off the heat. When I first arrived on-site, they’d been resting in the trees west of Horse Pond, but had since moved out to graze. They were all happy, relaxed, and looking well.

I said my goodbyes at 17:00, leaving them peacefully eating.

The cows were all good today.
