A group of fourteen originals were grazing and foraging to the east of Horse Pond. They were all soaking from the earlier rain but were drying out quickly. They were all very friendly, coming over to greet me and enjoying plenty of strokes and rubs. Youngsters 222 and 228 both thought it was amusing to give me rubs with their wet heads after enjoying long neck and chin scratches.
The seven Sussex cattle and youngster 219 were at the Shell garage end of the site, not too far from Beacon Hill Road in two groups. A group of four plus steer 219 were happily browsing gorse near the main entrance to Gelvert, with the other three enjoying grass and gorse along the main path towards Beacon Hill Road.
After a long search, I found the final three steers - 21, 35, and 220 - grazing in the woodland southeast of the Sandy Bowl. I stayed with them for a good half hour and all three appeared happy and were moving around without any issues. They were enjoying an assortment of gorse, holly and other leaves from the trees and bushes.
The cattle were all good today. Full update and photos to follow later.
