At 09:35 this morning, a mixed group of twenty-one cattle were grazing in the gorse bushes along the slope of Sandy Hill near ///winter.spoken.ideals. Many came out of the bushes to say hello and enjoyed plenty of strokes and rubs, with several staying for longer neck and back scratches. After our greetings, they either wandered along the track or returned to the gorse, gradually making their way west.
By 10:10, the cattle had begun moving out of the bushes to graze on the hillside near ///options.rigs.singles. They enjoyed the heather and gorse as they made their way down to the foot of the hill, gathering beside the path at Longbottom. Youngsters 219 and 222 particularly enjoyed long back scratches while resting. After a while, the seven Sussex cattle wandered off to the west to forage for acorns under the trees, while the fourteen members of Caesar’s original herd moved east to graze near ///flop.memo.unzips. Older steer 30 was the first to settle down in the bracken at 11:15. All twenty-one cattle were happy, relaxed, and in good condition.
At 11:30, the remaining four steers—21, 33, 230, and 270—were resting near ///trials.bonus.visual. They were lying down, relaxing, and chewing their cud. All were happy to be approached and enjoyed a few strokes. Youngster 230 enjoyed a longer neck and back scratch while relaxing. Despite a few showers, the boys continued resting until yearling 270 eventually got up, stretched, and wandered over to say hello. When a particularly heavy shower arrived around noon, they all moved into the gorse bushes for shelter. I said my goodbyes soon after, leaving them browsing deep in the gorse.
As I was leaving, the group of fourteen had moved further east and were grazing on the slope of Sandy Hill nearer Horse Pond. The Sussex cattle had also moved east along Longbottom and appeared to be heading back toward the larger group.
Steer 1626's head injury was looking much better today.
The cows were all good today.
