Needle in a haystack

Wednesday 10.00, i managed to find 2 of the cattle,one with the radio transmitter, at the gate near beacon hill, they were looking a bit nervous, standing but not doing much, when i returned to the area after looking for the others (with no luck) the 2 had walked off into the woods and as i approached them the went deeper into the trees.

Tuesday 10.30. did not find any this morning but met up with mike who had the radio receiver and managed to find 2. left him looking for the others.

3 seen this morning

Ivan Whatley saw 3 (2 red and 1 black) by the horse pond.

Five together in one group

After a long search we finally tracked down all five cattle in a single group at about 15.40 this afternoon. The location was square O 20 on the lookers' map.

Just the One...

Two hours of hunting failed to locate the group of four but following some fresh tracks I came across the black and white singleton at Q19 (SU837495) at 1015. She’s the one with the horns (ear tag 200955). She was happily grazing but seemed pleased to have company as, on spotting me, she trotted in my direction. She was moving east as I left.

Another interesting day at Caesars Camp

This morning Alex and Elliot managed to return another stray cow to Caesars Camp. It was one of the Hereford crosses that is predominantly white with some black on it. The herd of 4 that have stuck together were seen at lunch time in Q4 (in the 'Whales Tail' near the corral). I spent much of the day at Caesars Camp trying to locate the individual cow so I could encourage it back to the main herd, so it wouldn't leave Caesars Camp whilst searching for them.

We got a call at lunch time from someone saying that they had a black cow in their garden! It was secure in the garden and wasn't a problem getting it into a trailer. It has now gone back to the grazier's farm to join the other 2 that were rescued from a different garden yesterday.

So to clarify... There are 5 cows on site. 4 in a herd and the white and black cow that was put back in this morning, and is on its own. I'll be on hand over the weekend so give me a call if needed on; 07770918372

Missing cow/cows update

After traipsing through much of the woods and most of the gardens (with consent, may I add) of Ewshot we decided to call it a day searching for the missing cow. As it stands there are deffinately 4 cows on Caesars Camp and almost certainely another individual (Black and White) on its own on the site. Hopefully they will regroup with time.

The 2 cows that were rescued from someone's garden have not been put back on site today, and have gone back to the grazier's farm for the time being.

The search will continue tomorrow, hopefully someone will have spotted it by then. We'll let you know of any changes to cattle numbers on Caesars Camp
