At 13:35 this afternoon, youngsters 220 and 230 were resting and chewing their cud in the shade near ///blindfold.pulp.ogre, west of James Bond Pond. Both appeared happy, relaxed, and in good condition.
To the northwest, at 13:50, a mixed group of eighteen cattle were spread out and resting among the heather near ///beads.frock.birds. Most were relaxing and chewing their cud, while a few dozed in the sunshine. Not long after my arrival, I was greeted with gentle cuddles from youngster 222, who wandered over for neck and back scratches. After a while, I made my way around the others, who were all friendly and happy to accept a few strokes, with some standing up to enjoy back rubs. Older steer 30 was grazing among the gorse bushes on the far side of the path to the southwest. All were happy, healthy, and comfortable.
At 14:20, the final four steers were resting and chewing their cud north of James Bond Pond, near ///pokes.bidder.oiled. Older steers 33 and 35, along with yearling 270, were resting, while yearling 271 had just stood up to graze as I first approached. After checking on the first three, I went over to spend some quiet time with him. He was very friendly and enjoyed a long neck and back scratch on the bank near the main path. All four were happy, content, and looking well.
After a while, I returned to the second group, most of whom had started to get up and graze among the gorse and heather in the surrounding area. By this point, the sky had clouded over, and the earlier sunshine had disappeared.
Older steer 20 had been lying down, relaxing and chewing his cud with his herd mates in the larger second group. When the cattle began to drift off to graze, he got up and followed. He rose easily, walked without any difficulty, and began grazing contentedly. I also did not observe any issues with him during my extended visits over the weekend, with him active and grazing normally on both days.
The cows were all good today.
