Trough was in good shape, if a bit mucky.

Grazing Team Update

Unfortunately one of the cattle on site, 67, died some point last night. No obvious signs of why. I have been observing the other two and they aren't showing any abnormal signs or behaviour. As such for the time being there will only be 2 cattle on site. Apologies for the bad news. 

Tuesday 25th

 Looked at 2.30 pm and found all 3 cattle around trough. They look fit and healthy - no problems.

067 taking a drink. Trough looks OK

Tuesday 11th August

 Found all 3 by the trough, grazing away. Teasel's neck is looking better, with a slightly weepy eye. 

Trough slow filling but good. 

 Checked at 11.30 before it got too hot. Found all 3 laying in the scrape at M4. Very dry and dusty but they did not seem to mind and were also putting up with a lot of flies. 

Checked trough - full but really dirty.

Friday afternoon

All 3 by the water today. 067 had a lot of flies around the eyes but no obvious signs of NF eye, maybe just the heat.

Water looking grim but full

6th August - Lord (and Lady) of the Flies

Location: Liquid.resolves.gears L13

Eyes/Ears/Back : Right eye looked a bit red, everything else fine inc hoofs

Cow : 088

Eyes/Ears/Back : all fine bar flys

Tuesday

I found them all up by the large military gate at N13.  All seemed fine.

The trough was full.

Bramshot herd doing fine and all found around the trough.

Trough full and muddy, by all accts due to owners allowing their dogs to cool down/wash in it. Fleet Pond had Blue Green algae from what I hear so we may be seeing more traffic here.

Found all three in the scrape at M4. Clever Clogs (067) grazing on his own. Teasle (088) and Cronus (075) laying in the dust of the scrape. All looked quite happy, not so many flies, no obvious problems.
Trough full - working OK.
