All 20 found to south of Gravel Pit.

All 20 found to south of Gravel Pit on Sunday 28th June in the morning. Herding and looking well.

3 children (approx age 10 years) chased the herd. They were on their own with no parents to be seen. I had a quiet word with them and asked them not to do it again and explained why the cows were on the common. They promised that they would not chase them in future.

No signs of damage to fences or of motorbikes.

All cudding and calm near sandy hill.

All 20 were happy and calm, cudding and snoozing up near the gate to the west of sandy hill.

There have been no incidents of fences being cut, dogs hassling cattle, people opposing cattle or anything negative whatsoever so I am well happy!

Now 20 on site

Hello all.  It would seem as though the gelvert 8 want to be on Caesars with the new 12 so for now let's let them.

Silly billies!

All found near raised water tower

Heard cattle snapping branches as I put some signs up which was a real result.  All 15 were then located and checked.  They were grazing low willow branches and sedges as they walked.  All were walking well and doing a good job,
