Spotted bambi in h13 so we headed that way,The others were there so we followed them as they made there way down to the water trough,where jericho headbutted the others away from the lick til she'd had a very long go,only then allowing anyone else to get a look in.Then i realised that daisy wasnt there,altho the slowest walker shes usually ahead.This worried me so i went on a hunt and eventually found her munching the undergrowth in i12. Hope shes ok They have been doing an awful lot of walking lately,they always seem to be on some mission or another .x

All girls very relaxed chewing the cud and watching the world go bye,
in C4 all looking good.

Tuesday 26 March 7:30

All sitting looking miserable in D4.  Bambi hidden under a rhodedendron bush. 

When I went back about half an hour later they were all up, eating, moving into C4 and looking more cheerful!  Bambi still stationary under the bush but was on her feet and chewing.

Broke about 1cm of ice off the water trough.

All the cows were walking towards the big gate in the carpark[were they seem to be heading for alot these days]from were we saw them first in h9. They were all in the trees eating gorse[looks painful lol].Morag came round the corner on the path in that area and it was lovely to get a good look at her, shes beautiful,although fairly slow she seems faster than most the others,she looks really well.Crumple then approach which put my dog on edge as shes defo the one that doesnt like dogs,she walked up to a large puddle and with big long suck ,drank for ages,i've never seen any of them drink before i've just realised.Anyway when we left they were in D4.

had a lunchtime look but no joy

Found the girls at 11:30 today (Sat), all in F13, munching away on whatever they could find despite the heavy snow, they didn't appear bothered at all. All looked fine but I didn't get too close, it was an awful morning to be out anyway, lol.

All the cows lying or standing under the big scotch pine in m12.All seemed well,bambi was coughing and making an awfull sound but it soon subsided into a fed up moooo. Bambi's fur is definately falling out with areas of new short blonde appearing underneath, only there are areas that look bald ,not sure if this is normal for malting or not.All was very peaceful in camp bramshott xx

Nice to see the girls back and to welcome Morag, found all in M7 walking and munching
all looked fine if a little damp.

Jericho, Morag and Daisy grazing heather L7, Bambi and Crumple in undergrowth browsing gorse M7.  All looked fine.

Last week, one evening about twilight, I met some dog walkers who said the cows by the F7 cattle grid were a bit aggressive, especially the bull.  However, when I asked for more information about the "bull" they did not know what colour it was.    Should we be doing a bit more public information?  I was thinking we could have a poster with their pictures and names (and  brief biography?)  I would be willing to produce something if you think this would be helpful.

Was lovely to see the girls back,especially with our beautiful new addition,morag,shes amazing looking with her white horn looking like they've been dipped in black paint.I'm glad we were prewarned that they looked thinner because bambi really does,her hips stick out a mile,poor thing. daisy is looking slow as ever,saying that she seems to be the leader,i saw them yesterday and today and both times the group were on a mission lead by daisy,it was lovely to see them all intermittantly waiting for each other,quite amazing to stand back and watch. All seemed well and its great to have them back x

Welcome back Cows

Just to say welcome back Ladies and we will look forward to seeing you this year!

So nice to see the girls back including Morag, isn't she lovely...saw them all (unexpectedly) today at 4pm in F/G7, all munching away. I welcomed them all back & they all seems happy to be back.  Looks like Bambi's had a hard winter though, didn't like the look of her coat at all but am sure someone will tell me that its normal ?
