At 14:35 this afternoon, steers 217, 220, 228, 230, 270, and 271, along with cow 234, were foraging for acorns near ///truck.blogs.blanks, southeast of the Bourley Road car park and close to the fenced-off area. They were all very friendly, coming over to say hello and enjoy strokes and rubs.
Older steers 20 and 30, together with cow 72, were browsing gorse in the bushes behind. Cow 72 made her way through the gorse to greet me and enjoyed a long neck and back rub.
Youngster 227 was grazing among the gorse around 100 metres to the northwest near ///snares.respond.belief, closer to Bourley Road. Between the two groups, cows 214 and 940 and youngster 222 were grazing. All three paused to come over and say hello, enjoying plenty of strokes and rubs.
Despite an extensive search of the site, I was unable to locate the remaining ten cattle today. Unfortunately, none of them have working trackers. I suspect they were at the Shell garage end of the site, but I neither saw nor heard them during my walk. Given the frequent showers, they were likely sheltering deep within the gorse.
As I was leaving shortly before 17:00, I encountered the group of fourteen again near ///crumb.thighs.squirts, southwest of where I had seen them earlier. They were all still happy, relaxed, and looking well.
The fourteen cows that were found were all good today.
