Checked in on the cattle this afternoon. Found them all around K13 and they quickly came over to check out what treats I had in the vehicle.
Straight away I noticed that Lola has a problem with her left eye - a white dot just off centre and the front half of the eye beginning to cloud over and lots of tear staining. It looks like she has a about of New Forest eye so I reported this to the grazing team immediately.
This herd were due to be temporarily moved to Foxlease South on Thursday for TB testing, however, as the grazing team will be herding them up tomorrow to treat Lola's eye problem, they will take the opportunity to move the herd over tomorrow (Tuesday) instead.
The three steers were all on good form. Trough working ok.
