Sunday 6th July - All 25 seen - Cow 212 has a small cut in her rear right back leg - Cow 211 has slipped her tracking collar

Initially twenty-one on Gelvert and four on Caesar's, but the entire herd is now back on Caesar's. 

Sussex cow 212 has a little cut in her rear right back leg. It wasn't causing her any issues, although I suspect the flies will show interest later.

Sussex cow 211 has lost her tracking collar. Its been retrieved and is now in the boot of my car (with its battery disconnected).

Unfortunately, the misconfigured grazing area was causing problems for the the cattle this morning. Youngster 230 appeared from the bushes to the southeast of the larger fishing lake and, after enjoying a long back rub, started heading up the track to the east to rejoin the others who were about 100 metres in front. As he walked beside me, his collar suddenly sounded and shocked him. He tried moving forward again, only for it to happen a second time. Clearly distressed, I led him through the trees to the south and looped around to reach the others. 

While checking the rest of the group in the long grass within the pasture, I found their collars were also triggering. It was awful to see them panicked and distressed for no reason.

Will add some photos later.
