Hello All,
I am afraid to say that the cattle have left now for the winter and shall not be back until Spring 2013. If you are interested they have actually got to a different site than originally planned and are now residing on Velmead Common (Behind Foresters Pub and Velmead School). This means if want to pop in and say hello or continue your lookering on this site then please feel free to. I will invite you to the velmead Blog if you wish to become a looker there so let me know.
Thanks again for everything.
Elliott

9/11/12 Cow Watch
Fri 9/11/12 @ 7:20am
Cows a C7 eating brambels - backberry plants
All four there.
Saddle back on path and more assertive with walkers.
Bambi more reserved and hid from me a lot more.
all OK.
Seems to me they have moved to more sheleted area in cold snap and are eating what us there.
Good clear out of undergrowth!

all the girls were happily chomping away in j6.bambi looks like a different cow her fur seems so much darker,i guess her winter coat. nice to see them all happy and seemingly contented all very close i guess they spread out a bit after this time deb. x
Hi everyone, I appreciate it's not my day for lookering but had to say that I saw the girls today at 4: 45 this afternoon. It was very strange as I've never seen them so far apart from one another. Daisy was in L4, Bambi in K5, Jericho in M5 with the snakes, and Crumple in N7. They all looked fine eating away at what they could find. I just thought, this was the first time I have seen them so far apart!
