At 10:15 this morning, the cattle were grazing contentedly, making the most of the long grass in the southeast corner of the site. They paused their grazing to come over and say hello, happily enjoying some strokes and rubs. Youngster 222 was especially friendly, standing by the path for an endless neck and shoulder rub, thanking me with gentle head nudges and plenty of licks.
About an hour later, the herd had settled down to rest, lying comfortably and chewing their cud. Most chose to lie out in the open on the grass near the southeast corner, while a group of eight preferred the cool shade beneath the trees. They remained calm and content, happy to be approached and enjoy more strokes as they rested. The sun even made a welcome appearance—though, unfortunately, it brought a few pesky flies with it.
It was lovely to spend some quiet time with the herd today. They were all happy, relaxed, and looking really well. I said my goodbyes shortly before 13:30, and as I left, several of the group got up and followed me down to the stream for a drink before beginning to graze among the bushes by Bourley Road.
The cows were all good today.
