At 13:00 this afternoon, the cattle were happily grazing in the western pastures, enjoying plenty of grass in the sunshine. Youngster 227 was especially eager for his neck rub today and came straight over to greet me at the entrance gate. The others were just as friendly, coming over to say hello and enjoy plenty of strokes and rubs as I made my way around. All twenty-five were happy, relaxed, and in good condition.
After a while, the herd moved into the eastern pasture to continue grazing before most wandered over to the stream for a drink — at one point there was quite a queue! Once they’d had their fill, they gathered in the pasture to bask in the sunshine. Several came over again for more attention, leaning in for long neck, shoulder and back rubs.
I said my goodbyes at 14:30, leaving them grazing or resting peacefully. As I began to leave, the herd slowly drifted off, grazing their way toward the southeast corner.
The cows were all good today.
