Saturday 14th June - All 25 seen

At 09:45 this morning, cows 72 and 940, along with steer 20, were happily grazing in the pasture near ///wound.plunger.plus. Close by, steers 222 and 227, along with cow 234, were lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud. Youngster 220 was grazing a little further northeast, but soon wandered down to join the group. All seven were happy, relaxed, and enjoying the cooler weather.

By 10:30, Sussex steers 197 and 210, along with cow 212, were grazing in the swampy area near ///working.afraid.bared. They were making the most of the lush long grass and didn’t mind getting their feet muddy.

Sussex cows 211 and 1396, along with steer 1640, were happily grazing on the hillside near ///picked.wager.bland at 10:45. Meanwhile, steers 30, 35, and 219 were grazing deep in the dense bracken to the northwest. They were all happy and healthy.

 

At 11:25, the final group of nine cattle were contentedly grazing in the valley north of the covered reservoir, near ///cage.sonic.snores. Youngster 230 was particularly friendly, enjoying a long back rub while chewing his cud. The whole group appeared happy, healthy, and in good condition. 

On my way back south, I spotted steers 30 and 35 grazing near ///worms.crowns.cans at 12:05. Both were now out in the open, making it easy to check them over — and both looked perfectly fine.

Curious about the rest of the second group, I continued up to the higher ground and found the six Sussex cattle gathered near ///stir.downs.unroll. Cow 211 was especially friendly, coming over to say hello with gentle head rubs. After a relaxing neck rub, she settled down in the bracken at my feet to rest. Youngster 219, who'd been grazing to the southwest, soon wandered over to join them at 12:30. After a long back rub, he too lay down to rest.

Before leaving, I stopped to check out the burnt-out car at ///towel.guards.districts and checked the damaged fencing to the southwest. I'd been wondering about the newly added boundary on the map, so thanks for the update, Dave.

The cows were all good today. It was lovely to spend a bit of extra time with them.
