Tuesday 30th September - Staff Check

All three girls guzzling acorns this afternoon by the water trough and looking well. 

Tuesday 30 September

 Found then under a lovely arch of privet and laurel trees.

216 and 105 were content, but Greta (225) was scratching her rump up against a branch all the time I was there. From what a could see she did look a little dirty around her back end.

216 lost collar

 216 has slipped her collar the other two look good. 

All good

 Happy chewing the cud in the rain under a tree

Friday 26th September - 114 taken off site back to farm for udder treatment

Hi All, 

We've taken 114 back to our farm in hook to treat for summer mastitis, thank you so much for keeping an eye on her and letting us know in good time. 

Best wishes 

Grazing Team

Friday 26th September - Udder update

Dyers Weed's udder now has some bleeding and is looking quite red. I would think she needs some attention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Other 3 ladies all fine. All 4 eating grass at a pace!

Weds 24th - check for swollen udder

 Bonus staff check to look at 114's swollen udder. It is very enlarged, but it doesn't look red or inflamed. She also doesn't seem bothered by it.

If people checking over the next few days could keep an extra eye on it that would be great. I've attached some photos below of what it looks like at the moment - if you notice it getting more red or looking inflamed, and/or notice a change in behaviour (stamping and kicking more, less relaxed) then let us know via the blog, and we will make a decision on whether she needs further treatment 

Thanks all!

Weds 24th Oct - still enlarged udder

All four grazing together at lunchtime today, near ///grad.requiring.forms. 

114 still has the enlarged teat Michael saw on Sunday (pic below). All were being a bit bothered by flies but seemed content. 

Tuesday 23 September

 Found them all under the trees by the railway line., lying down. 114 standing. All contented.

All good

 All four happy munching

Sun 21st September- cows being worried by dogs

All cows sitting by the southern cattle grid but being worried by 2 dogs off the lead. Female put dogs on lead eventually but was very abusive to me. Cows looked OK once the dogs had gone.

Enlarged teat

 114 has one of her 4 teats enlarged. No sign of weeping or discharge that I could see. The other’s look good hovering up acorns 

Sat 20th Sept

All found by the southern cattle grid looking fine

Friday 19th September

All 4 found in the woodland area, near the railway track at 11.00am, W3W: skipped.debit.regress

 

Delia, (108), seems to have several ticks around the udder area on her left side - see photo. Probably at least 6.

 

 

 

 

Ginseng, (216), and Dyers Weed, (114) were bothered by lots of flies. So many I thought they were markings at first! 

 

Wednesday 17th August - COWS NOW ONSITE

Four British White Girls now onsite having moved over from Pondtail which they're very happy about. 

All well
