At 10:15 this morning, the cattle were enjoying a lazy Sunday, with most lying down on the grass in front of the trees in the southeast corner, contentedly chewing their cud. The air was chilly, and their breath was visible as they rested in the field. A group of seven had chosen to settle under the shelter of the trees.
They were all very friendly, happily accepting strokes as I moved among them to check on them. After a while, several took turns getting up and wander over for long neck and back rubs. Youngster 230 especially loved his back and shoulder scratches, rocking gently from side to side to make sure I reached every itchy spot. Youngster 219 also enjoyed a good back rub, stretching out fully for a side scratch before dozing off.
By 12:15, steer 35 was up and about, munching on leaves from the trees to the west of where the group was lying. I said my goodbyes shortly after, leaving them all resting peacefully.
The cows were all good today.
