The cattle were seen in three groups today – the seven Sussex cattle, plus steers 21 and 219, near the water tower; cows 72, 214, 234, and 940, along with steers 20 and 271, under the trees to the east of James Bond Pond; and the remaining ten steers under the trees to the east of Horse Pond.
All were very friendly, enjoying plenty of strokes and rubs as I checked on them. Despite the slightly cooler weather and a refreshing breeze, there were still a lot of flies about. The group by Horse Pond were worst affected, with a few teary faces where flies were irritating their eyes and causing them to water.
Overall, the cattle were in good spirits – happy, relaxed, and looking well. They appear to be coping well with this long hot spell.
