Saturday 21st June - All 25 seen

At 09:05 this morning, steers 21, 35, and 220 were grazing in the thicket southwest of James Bond Pond, near ///land.rollover.oath. Before long, they wandered down to join the other seventeen cattle, most of whom were lying down on the grass island near ///duties.approve.hers, relaxing and chewing their cud.

A little further south, youngsters 219 and 227 were also resting, lying in the tall grass near ///calm.sped.panthers. Nearby, cow 214 and yearling 271 were grazing among the trees, while yearling 270 had ventured even further south to the trees by the water tower. He eventually made his way back to graze closer to the others. After a while, cow 214 lay down but couldn’t get comfortable, eventually getting up and moving to stand under a tree near the main group.

When I arrived, the sun was partially behind the clouds, so it wasn’t too hot. However, by the time I said my goodbyes at 09:55, the sun was out at full strength. Several of the cattle had started getting up and heading for the shade of the trees to the southwest. Despite the rising heat, they all appeared content, relaxed, and in good condition.

At 10:00, the group of five Sussex cattle were resting under the trees to the east of James Bond Pond. They were peacefully chewing their cud and relaxing, though it remained warm in their sheltered spot. From time to time, they stretched out in the dirt and leaves to keep cool. All five were happy, relaxed, and looking well.

The cows were all good today.
