Cows 72 and 940 were happily munching grass on the slope to the southeast of James Bond Pond. It was a foggy start to the morning, but the sun soon burnt through it.
A group of eight were grazing to near the northeast corner of the pond. They were all very friendly and enjoyed plenty of strokes and rubs. After a while, most moved west to stand in the sun at the edge of a busy path. After a good while, youngster 228 and yearlings 270 and 271 joined the group, having been grazing further northeast.
I moved into the pasture to the north to check on the remaining cattle, and I was relieved when the group by the path followed me. The cattle were well spread out in the pasture, either resting or grazing.
The combined group moved west, to the far side of the mound, where after a bit more grazing they started to lie down to rest in the sunshine. By the time I said my goodbyes shortly before 11:30, all but steers 21 and 30 were lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud or snoozing.
As I was leaving I checked on cows 72 and 940 again, who were at the far western end of Sandy Hill continuing to eat the lush green grass.
Full update and photos to follow later this afternoon.
