31st August

All the cows were at N4 this morning nice and early all looking good..

4 near log pile at 15:30

I came out to check the 4 today and found them all grazing the newly exposed ground by the ever decreasing log pile.

they all looked very happy.

I spent a bit of time walking around teh site to see how things are recovering following the clearance works.  I am truly amazed at the heather and gorse regenration following the works, both in the extent of it and the size of it.  there are heather plants 3" tall in some places which is amazing when you think that the seed had to germinate and then grow from scratch in the wild following its disturbance only 6 months ago.  Nature is truly amazing.

All four girls grazing contently in J5 looking good and happy.

Tuesday 28 August 07.45

All fine, in J5, grazing in the morning sun. Daisy was having a good chomp on a holly tree!

Mon 27 Aug 2012 - all OK

All the four cows well at I17.

Bambi standing up and chewing cud.

Others sitting down.

Spotted the 4 around 1400 today around J11 / K11.  All seemed well, but heading separate ways.

What a lovely morning with the shining so early.  The girls were nice and easy to find at 8am with Bambi & Daisy laying down in J11 and Jericho & Crumple laying down in k11. I managed to get close to them & they all looked fine & happy just soaking up the sun.

Another Saturday and another challenge to find the girls (getting the feeling they are trying to hide from me lol)! Eventually (with some help I must admit) I did find them in C4 at 7:45am all laying down under the big oak tree. They were all very still except for Jericho who was keeping a look out and giving a hissing sound when Rosie went too close.  Guess they were settling down undercover to protect themselves from the rain!

Very sorry to hear about Muesli today, sad news but at least she spent some lovely times with the girls at Bramshot.     Today the 2 girls were at F4 together and grazing looking happy.   There was a light brown dog trying to play with them no owner to be seen I cycled around a bit to make sure them were ok and the dog did vanish after a while.  

Arrived this morning to fix a small bunch of chaos that had decended on F4. Namely making the bridle gate close reliably, replacing lower rail sections on the adjoining fence and replacing rails on the kissing gate box 10 m to the south. This is all done. I noticed the two cows nearby watching me work.

After some time I found Bambi and jericho hiding in M3 having a lay down .Bambi has a runny nose but both girls look good.

20th August

The cows were found at G4.   I had to go back in the evening on my bike as I couldn't find them in the morning I think they were hiding from me! probably tucked behind some bracken in the shade. Both looking good Bambi did have a very runny nose bless her the fluid was clear.

Sorry we were away yesterday so no lookering

Spotted Bambi and Jerricho around 1400 around the K11 area.  Both looked happy and well.  The others not seen

Having seen the girls back on Thur & Fri which are not my lookering days, I started Saturday lookering today with not much success I'm afraid.  Spent an hour walking around their normal ground  & didn't see them at all. I even asked other walkers who hadn't seen them so I'm assuming they found some shelter as it was very hot. I was there between 9 - 10am.  Will check again later but if anyone has seen them today please feel free to comment. It doesn't help when the bracken is so high, you can't spot them standing up let alone laying down.

That's very strange...when I saw them yesterday I could have sworn it was Jericho (Belted Galloway) laying down next to Bambi, that was at 4:45pm !!

visited today[16/8]at 5pm

nice 2 see bambi and museli back altho i must admit to visiting them a few times at ancells farm. they looked very happy and relaxed in k12. the water trough is working fine the lick had 2 be turned over and is still slush,although the trough is completely covered by bracken?in fact theres still loads of it everywhere,did the spraying not work?
