Sunday 28th

 All not far from the trough. Evan with his head pushed through barbed fence to eat. All looking very good. Gate is fine it slams shut.

Saturday 27th

 Found all 3 dozing near to the trough (about A16). Teazle appeared to be asleep the other 2 chewing cud looking quite healthy and relaxed in the sunshine.

Trough and gate working OK.

Thursday 25th

 Assembles. Torelables. Mavericks  (M12)

I found all three deep in the Gorse around the bottom of M12. 

Both 75 & 160 were busy eating and no obvious issues to report from the distance I was at.  I did note a lot of flies around Teasels' (88) udders. I doubt it's summer mastitis or anything serious but one to keep an eye

Wednesday 24th

 Found all 3 laying in the sunshine in J11 at 3.30. All looking very relaxed chewing cud. No problems.

  

Trough and gate working OK.

All three came running as soon as they saw the truck, all OK

Tuesday 23rd February

 7.30am All 3 were spotted at a distance entering the dense gorse so I could t get a good look but were trotting along ok. Trough & gate ok

 Monday 3.00pm

Trough full and all looked fine.

Found Teasel and Evan in the gorse around L8. Couldn't locate Caledonia to start with, but then he appeared. All 3 looked in good condition and were enjoying a feast of prickly gorse! 👍

Sunday

 All not far from the trough. Nosing through leaf litter.  All a bit soggy but fit and well. Trough OK.

Thursday 18th

Found all three in the flat area of K6. Teasle (088) laying in the dead bracken chewing cud. Both bullocks grazing 50 yds away. Unable to get a close look as this area is full of marshy puddles but they seemed to be moving well with no problems.
The site was full of people walking, lots of dogs and small children.
Trough working OK and now clear of ice. The rubber tube on the gate has broken but the gate is still closing OK.

Despite the mild weather large pieces of ice needed to be removed from the trough today - I suspect all will be gone tomorrow.

All 3 cows found together at 11.20am near the car park about E4, (I think!). All looked fine and were eating enthusiastically. Success for my first 'looking' experience.👀😊 

Friday 12th

 Found all 3 laying in the sun chewing cud keeping out of the wind. Temperature minus 1.  No problems. 

Trough full of ice so I used the sticks to break it. No sound of water coming in - should watch that.

(could not load photos on this blog?? - need to sort that)

Loaded this in old blog OK then came back here and edited this blog and it took the photos. will try again next time

Tuesday 9th

 All 3 spread out around the trough side between 07:30 & 08:30 on this very cold morning with their heads down. Looking good.

The gate appears to be holding up well 🤞. I had to break the thick ice in the trough and left a branch in there again but obviously it never stays there.

Sunday 7th

 All not far from the trough going for acorns under leaf litter. Fit and well. Trough OK.

Saturday 6th

 Saw cattle from a distance in L11 at 3.30 rummaging in the gorse. Too wet and muddy to get close but they seemed to be moving OK with no obvious problems.

Trough full and working.

Tuesday 2nd

 Found the cattle in L10 at 3.30, rummaging deep in the gorse. All looked fit and healthy.

Trough OK

Monday 1st Feb

All 3 in G14 between 0715 & 0845 (they didn’t get very far!), all looking good, one using a tree to have a good old scratch which my little JRT found very amusing. Trough and gate both fine
