At 09:35 this morning, the eighteen members of the Caesar's original herd, along with Sussex steers 210 and 1626, were gathered on the grassy area east of the Sandy Bowl. Most of the cattle were resting and chewing their cud, while older steer 35 stood relaxing in the shade of the trees to the northwest. Many of them took turns coming over to say hello, enjoying long neck and back scratches before lying down again to rest. All twenty were happy, relaxed, and looking well.
At 11:00, the remaining five Sussex cattle—cows 211, 212, and 1396, along with steers 197 and 1640—were resting in the pasture near ///simply.sulk.farm. They were all happy to be approached for their checks and enjoyed a few strokes. Cow 211 soon got up and wandered over for more attention, thoroughly enjoying having her neck and shoulders stroked before thanking me with some affectionate licks. The others also took turns coming over for back scratches. All five were happy, healthy, and looking well. By 11:45, the group had started to wander off to the southwest to graze.
As I was leaving, the group of twenty had started to get up and stretch before setting off southwest across the Sandy Bowl, keeping close to the tree line. By 12:05, they had begun moving into the woodland and appeared to be heading towards the pasture where the five Sussex cattle had been resting.
There is a large fallen tree blocking the driveway in front of the cow shed. The wooden footbridge is still passable.
The cows were all good today.
