At 09:30 this morning, Sussex cows 211, 212, and 1396, along with steers 210 and 1640, were lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud in the pasture northwest of James Bond Pond, near ///reliving.melts.helpful. They were all happy to be approached and enjoyed plenty of strokes and rubs as they rested. Steers 197, 219, and 1626 were happily grazing nearby, but soon wandered over to say hello before settling down to rest with the others. All eight were happy, relaxed, and looking well.
At 10:15, the remaining seventeen members of Caesar's original herd were resting at the Lookout. Most were lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud, although many regularly got up to wander over for long neck and back scratches. They were all very friendly as I made my way around checking on them, and thoroughly enjoyed the attention. Youngster 220 was tucked away in the gorse bushes behind the main group, looking very comfortable. After a while, older steer 21 wandered off to the west to graze. By 11:30, when he hadn't returned, I went looking for him. I found him still happily enjoying the fresh grass and, after a long back scratch, he lay down at my feet to rest. I said my goodbyes at 12:20, leaving them all resting peacefully, with most still lying down and chewing their cud.
British White cow 234 has a small pink area on the white of her left eye, near the outer corner. It didn’t appear to be causing her any discomfort, and there were no other signs of injury or irritation. The eye remained clear and free of cloudiness.
The cows were all good today.
