The cattle were all good today.
There were twenty-two split in three groups - two groups on Sandy Hill, and five of the Sussex cattle foraging for acorns under the trees on Longbottom. They were all soaking from the earlier snow and rain.
Youngster 227 and yearlings 270 and 271 were grazing in the gorse bushes at the north east corner of Horse Pond. They were very friendly, enjoying plenty of strokes and rubs despite being rather wet. Concerned that they appeared to be moving further away from the others, I walked them back initially to the Sussexes, before they met up with eight of the original herd.
Sussex steer 1626 appears to have a bite on his right rear end, beside his tail. I have made the Grazing Team aware. A couple of the cattle also had small traces of blood on their ankles where they've caught themselves while grazing in the gorse bushes. There were no underlying issues though.
Will do a full update and tidy this up later this evening.
