All found off the track dividing the middle heaths up.

071 corner of eyes red but not concerning, seen this in a lot of cattle and it usually dissapeares over time. Flies all about the faces giving them all some irritation, but again no concerns. Cooler day today, think they're loving it.

All looking very healthy.

At 7:45 we eventually spotted one in I4 tail wagged head down looking happy.  Well, then we had a challenge finding the others!  There they were spaced out between J5 & K5 in the trees & gorse so couldn’t get close enough but seemed ok.  Trough checked ok too.

Found by the gate in E4. Had a good look at Cantor's (71) eyes; a little bit of pink in bottom corners but otherwise fine.  He does not seem at all bothered by them.  Others all look OK, no evidence of similar problems.  Lola taking fallen acorns.  Trough OK.

Friday 24th August.

Checked in again this afternoon to see how #71 is doing. Only his right tear duct was bloody today although they were both still swollen.

We'll continue to monitor the situation but for now it doesn't seem to be bothering him and isn't getting worse.

Wednesday 22nd August.

Checked on the cattle today and they were as noisey as ever!

#71  has some swelling on the tear ducts of each eye. This has gone bloody too probably where he's rubbed them. There are no signs of New Forest Eye but this is definitely one to monitor for now.

The grazing team will visit over the next couple days to check on him too.

The other three are all fine.

Trough working ok.

At 0915 hrs all in a tight bunch grazing on the track corner in N13.  All fit and well.

Found all 4 at 1.30, grazing in the open area of J11/J12, all moving well, no sign of any problems. The large fir tree in the center of this area has shattered (due to drought ?) and two very large branches are hanging a bit precarious and dangerous for any public or cows that move them. Do we tidy this up? Checked trough - full to top but still very green.

All four grazing in the trees in G12 at 2.30. As we left they moved out onto the grass along thee path. All moving well with no sign of problems. Checked trough - full but looked a bit green.

Lola and boys all at the trough this morning.

By the end of my condition assessment they were moving into the centre.

All looking well.

At about 0920 hrs, after much searching through very tall bracken and gorse, all 4 found very spread out but centred on/in I9.  All in excellent condition.

3.00 pm Wednesday
All 4 meandering through gorse and bracken in J12, grazing on last of the grass. Looking fit and healthy. Checked trough - full to top and working OK.

Today at 6.45 pm

All four grazing m4 up by the gate. Nice it's cooled down a bit x

Hiding from me again! Wasn’t giving up today though.
Eventually found one’s tail wagging above the gorse in J5, then others all spaced out in K6 & 7 then last one in L7 at around 6:30 this morning. All heads down looking busy & enjoying the cooler temperature I guess lol. Trough checked ok too.

All well Monday morning 6th Aug

All 4 were sensibly in the woods, between the heath and the railway line, keeping cool. They were finding the flies annoying but were fine. Water trough full.

At 0845 hrs all in H8, hiding amongst the trees/shade, grazing and browsing, and looking in really great condition.

Today at 9pm

Finally I've found them, wasn't giving in tonight been looking for 1 1/2 hours, been up here many times with no luck. They we hiding amongst the gorse and fern, bottom center of the heath field, they all seem OK, the trough has been working fine although it has got very green and algified. They look soo big, they have all followed me to the path, bit foreboding in the dusk . Haha. All good tho x
