Saturday am

At least 10, spread out and quietly grazing, around O22.

At least 14 spread out amongst the trees and along the freshly cleared slopes of Hungry Hill.

 

 

Cloudless Blue skies

Cold and crisp this afternoon as we walked west along the path beside Sandy Hill. We found a group of 9 cows close to the water filled sandy pond at about Q13. They were enjoying a 'lick' that had been put down for them. There was a great deal of bellowing going on and they all looked well.

All seen today.

Between Jack and myself we saw all the cattle today. They were well spread out in several small herds. A few licks were dropped off for them to help them get the most out of the forage that is available at the moment.

Note: #44 who had come over from Gelvert a couple of months ago has now gone back - not helped by us but it obviously thought the grass is definitely greener on the other side! This means there are now 33 on Caesar's Camp.

A few today

At least six were on the top area near Beacon Hill road and the boundary with Gelvert.  They seemed fine.  A great number of dogs and their walkers were up there too - it's a beautiful day!

Boxing Afternoon

Short walk on Boxing afternoon walking off the Turkey.
We walked from Sandy Hill down around the Horse Pond and west to the new pond and then back along the path along the top of Sandy hill. We only saw 3 cows, all solitary and in the distance in the evening gloom.

All seen on 22nd and looking good.

Between Jack and myself we managed to eventually find all of the cows who were clearly playing a game of hide a seek amongst themselves into which we seemingly had to join in.  they were all spread out everywhere is mixed groups, both small and large.

Needless to say they were all well with clear eyes, good feet and coats.  One or two are starting to lose a bit of weight so we have begun to put out feed blocks for them to help keep them going on the rougher forage that they find on the heath.  these will be replaced on a weekly basis rather than when finished, and will be distributed wherever we find the bigger groups of cattle.

With the xmas holidays now being upon us please call our office number on 01256 381190 should you find any problems.  A member of staff is on call every day of the festive season and the number on the answer machine will be changed accordingly.

Merry Christmas once more
