CATTLE OFF FOR WINTER

Hello All, As planned the grazier has removed the 5 girls from Bramshot Heath today and taken them back to Foxlease Meadows for their winter retreat. Thank you all once again for your help this year. The site is really starting to become a heath of great potential. Heather seedlings are growing across the entire cleared area, gorse is starting to form in dense clumps, sundews are re-establishing themselves in much higher densities now tree shade has gone. Fingers crossed if we do not have too bad a winter we may even have some woodlarks breeding on the site next spring (this is my goal for the site long term!). We will come out next week and take down the signs, turn off the trough and put the site to bed for winter. Thanks a million and one times Elliott

Cattle moving on after another good years grazing

Hello all, I was informed by the grazier today that she plans to take the cattle off in the next couple of days to the reserve over the road where they will spend the winter months of lush green fields and meadows. The cattle have yet again done a fantastic job on this new site. However, their efforts would not have been possible if it was not for all of you who go out and looker the livestock in rain sun and wind. You have all been so supportive once again of us grazier this piece of military training area which we are so so appreciative of. As mentioned earlier the livestock will only be on the other side of the road in meadows opposite the Harvester restaurant so if any of you would like to continue to looker them you would be more than welcome to (I can arrange for guy to give you a tour of the site), just let us know. Otherwise they will be back on site in March/April time which will be with us before you all know it, Thank you all once more Elliott

Folks, just to let you know that I will not be able to check on the girls for the next 2 weekends, back to normal on the 23rd Nov (that's if they are still there by then). Please feel free to update in my absence. Cheers

Found the cows in F4-G4 all a little wet but all had heads down munching away happily. As I as walking away a white retriever came running up and was chasing them the owner was trying to call him back he did go eventually.

Jericho on her own in H8, others in G7. Looked OK, on a damp miserable morning.

visited today @ 4pm

sorry no sign again,and i literally walked around for ages till it got dark but no luck. xx

All in C4 this morning at around 7:30. They were all very contented just standing, looking around.  They we're not bothered at all as we walked passed although they did look up when they saw I had another strange dog with me today lol
