Sorry could not find cows today must be hiding in the undergrowth somewhere.

All 5 decided to come and say Hi after we fixed the fence. All looking good.

Hi there, following on from Sue's comments, I was over there today and at 11:30 and also noticed the big Oak tree branch fallen in D15, now laying across the road/track, no immediate concern but will need attention is obstructing the road/track. I called Guy at 11:40 as I also notice the fence cut in F12 which I believed did need emergency attention so Guy & Mike arrived very promptly at 12:00 to meet me on site. We also looked at the fallen branch in G11 but this does not need immediate attention but may fall onto the fence at a later date.  Many thanks guys & nice to meet you at last :-)

Tuesday 29 October 8:40 am

All cattle standing quietly in H4, looked fine.

I walked the perimeter fence.  No damage to the fence or gates.  I removed some small branches.

But the following probably need attention in due course.

H9 - Oak branch diameter 20cm hanging, it will damage the fence if it falls
D15 - Large oak branch 45cm diameter hanging, blocking the path near the trough (but missed it when it fell) - looks dangerous.
N2 - Silver birch 20 cm diameter resting on the railway fence, tree on railway side but I could not push it off
G3 - Two trees down on lane by the railway.  

Late site visit

Called in on my way home to clear up a small Silver Birch which had fallen over the fence on the Eastern fence line. It was dark time I got there so couldn't check the cattle. Thanks for your help checking in the blustery conditions and do take care still as some trees, that have stayed up, might have been weakened by the wind and wet ground.

Found the cows spread out today in H7-I7 all looking a little wet but heads were down munching away happily.

Tuesday 22 October 9am

All huddled together under the trees in D14.  Daisy sitting, others standing, looked fine on a very miserable drizzly morning.  Jericho was eating beech leaves, they do have a varied diet at Bramshot.

Couldnt find the ladies today probably in the undergrowth somewhere

20th Oct

I was out this morning at 9am and the cows were being harassed by a white retriever dog it was chasing them all I shewed it away and it wasn't taking any notice at all owner no where to be seen...

Eventually the dog disappeared this all happened at about J11   on my way back at 1030 all the girls were fine by the water trough

Thought I should mention it ... This is ally useful to know Odette, thanks, I will ask Guy to record this on our 'incident log'. Thanks

The Girls were in I8 & 9 at 11:50, heads down eating away, Not bothered by us at all this morning. Up close we did comment at how well they all looked at the moment apart from Morag who looked liked she could do with a good wash & brush, bless her.

No sighting this morning but they must have been around A, B, C, D, E (4, 5, 6, 7) as I didn't managed to search this area. Am not concerned as I saw them all yesterday lunchtime on the track by the water trough & they all looked fine.  Sorry but limited for time this morning.

18th Oct

Went out at 6 had a wonder about could not see the girls. I have a bad back at the moment so did walk my usual hour or so.

Wednesday 16 Octoder 2013

I found the cows on this drizzly morning heads down happily munching away in C4 all looked ok.

Tuesday 15 October 8:45

All walking along the lane from N2 towards car park.  Moving at a fair pace, all looked fine, apart from Daisy who was bringing up the rear and each of her steps looked laboured.  When the others stopped to graze she just plodded on as if she knew that it would be difficult to catch up if she was left behind.

visited today @ 2pm

visited today at 2pm pretty horrible day and the rain has made the highlands soo much darker,i wondered who they were from a distance,as i havent seen them for a while. anywaythey were all doing the conga from j11 and ended up stopping around g9. they all seemed really alert and happy,grazing and looking upon my new addition with trepidation. wonder what they are going to think of my two puppies when they are ready to join us,leads for sure lol. its good to be back xx

13th October

As Debbie is away I checked the girls today   they all looked happy in the rain grazing at J5.

11th Oct

Went out last night getting dark and very wet and windy I could not see the girls maybe they were under shelter some where  

hello

now the puppies have nearly all gone and mums recovered i can return to my lovely cows on thursdays and mondays. hope alls been well xx

I have left a VM for Elliot and called the office and spoke to Laura at 1pm.  I was over walking Rosie this lunchtime, turning the corner in G13 at 12:50, I thought, oh bless there they are, then I spotting someone running away from Jericho who started trotting quite quickly towards her. I quickly put Rosie on her lead and walked towards a couple who were in there mid 30's, wearing dark jackets, they had a small terrier like a Scottie off the lead. when I approached them I asked what it was they were feeding them, they said carrots.  I said, please don't feed them as they have enough food here. they then just said, carrots are ok and started walking off in the direction of where I came from.  Trouble is the cows obviously liked the carrots as they started to get quite close to me and then followed the couple down the track. I cut inside and walked back up through the meadow and found the girls right by the cattle grid in C16 but no sighting of the couple who I guess carried on walking down the track. I have never seen this couple before but just wanted to make everyone aware.

Wednesday 09 October 2013

Found all cows together in J3 all looked good Bambi Crumple and Daisy laying down Jericho and Morag standing.

Hello all.  I will be away this weekend so unable to check on the Girls Saturday & Sunday so please feel free to add a post if you are around. I'm back on the 19th.  Many Thanks

Tuesday 8 October 2:20 All there

All present and correct K11.  Daisy sitting, others standing, all looked fine.

 Two police vehicles just leaving when I arrived, apparently there has been a report of a person trying to steal dogs.

Tuesday 8 October 8:45 (Daisy missing)

Jericho, Bambi on path Morag and Crumple in the wood, I8.  I COULD NOT FIND DAISY.  Will look again this afternoon.

All in I7 at 12:20 today, sitting together, all looked fine.

4th October

All girls at F14 looking good and enjoying the sun

Lovely to see the Girls up ahead of us when we started our walk this morning.  At 8:30, we followed them slowly as they walked up the track from J13. At quite a pace they were going too (except for poor old Daisy who was lagging behind, she looked stiff while dragging her legs slowly) they eventually came to stop & ate what they could around the very far cattle grid in C16. Apart from Daisy's slowness & all the burs on Morag, all looked fine.

Wednesday 02 October 2013

Found cows spaced out in F4-G4 heads down munching away happily, all looked relaxed and happy.

Tuesday 1 October 15:10

Jericho, Crumple and Bambi hiding in C5, Morag and Daisy by the gate B4.  All looked fine.  Morag is still covered in burrs. I have never seen them right down there before.  Daisy was eating the nettles outside the fence, she was expert in maneuvering her head and horns through the barbed wire.

I looked for a hour first thing this morning but I don't know where they were hiding.  I thought they must be somewhere as I spotted them in K7 yesterday evening.  About 15:40 today they were all making their way across the path E5, grazing on the short grass.
