Shortly after 09:00 this morning, the group of six Sussex cattle were sheltering from heavy rain under the trees near ///inserting.blog.lost, approximately 400 metres northeast of James Bond Pond. They were peacefully foraging for acorns and browsing gorse. Despite being soaking wet, they were all very friendly, each coming over to greet me and enjoy plenty of strokes and rubs. It was great to see that they had returned to Caesar’s and were happy, relaxed, and in good condition.
By 10:20, the remaining nineteen cattle were spread out under the trees northeast of the water tower near ///parked.station.liner, also sheltering from the rain. Cow 234 was resting alone under the trees to the northwest, on the opposite side of the track, while youngster 230 had wandered slightly further northeast of the main group and was relaxing and chewing his cud. Most of the herd were resting, while a handful grazed contentedly among the gorse bushes.
They were all very friendly as I made my way around checking on them, with most happy to receive plenty of strokes. They also seemed to appreciate having the rainwater and loose gorse brushed from their backs and sides. After yesterday’s lovely weather, the cattle looked decidedly unimpressed by the return of the rain. Even so, they were all content, relaxed, and looking well.
As I said my goodbyes just after 11:30, the rain eased slightly and the cattle began to move north, staying close to the tree line and grazing as they went.
The cows were all good today.
