Wednesday 29th April.
They were down by the main car park this afternoon all on fine form and looking well. I put a lick out in the nearby woods which they got stuck into straight away.

Monday 27th April.
They were in the NW (B4) corner of the site this morning - the two steers had their heads through the fence and were nibbling at some fly-tipped garden waste.
Landmarc kindly took the waste away while I replaced a couple of fence posts that got snapped as the cattle pushed on the fence.
All three looking fit and well. #67 has a tiny cut about his right eye which was probably from pushing through the barbed wire. I had a good look at it and it is very minor so nothing to worry about.

Found the cattle in I12 this afternoon, vocal as ever. I put a fresh lick out for them there but they ignored that and followed me back to the vehicle!
All looking fit and well and trough ok too.

Gloriously sunny day on Bramshot Heath. The herd were thirsty and hovering around the trough
All looking well. Checked Teasel and couldn't see any concerns with her legs and she was moving fine, certainly didn't stop her hoovering up the bluebells on the other side of the fence. I know they do it but watching them makes me nervous! 😉 Fence is still up. Check!

Monday 6th & Tuesday 7th April.
Checked the cattle yesterday afternoon and this morning. All three looking well with no signs of injury.
Put a fresh mineral lock out for them this morning.
Trough ok.
The new fence has been cut already - next to the large gate so I'll report this to Landmarc.

Took our exercise today at 2.30. unable to gain entry to site on Bramshot Lane as the new gate was padlocked and the fence now stops access through the old gate. The contractors were working near the roundabout end of the lane - are they stopping all access from that side. We parked by the railway bridge and walked from there. Found cows conveniently in H4, clever clogs (67) grazing among the trees the others laying in the patch of sun chewing cud. No problems. Checked trough - full and working OK.
Will exercise again next week if allowed to.
