Friday 27th February

All 3 easily found today, chewing the cud and dozing at /// stand.baker.toads

All lying down so couldn't see any udders to inspect!

Only 2 cows showing up on nofence but all 3 had collars in place.

2.00pm

Weds 25th - 114 still swollen

All three together near WTW ///caked.steady.stole. 

Ginseng and Greta doing some sunbathing, before Greta got up to headbutt Dyers Weed. 

Her udders do look a bit swollen, but not much redness that I could see. She walked off into the deeper gorse after Greta arrived. 

Other two looking well. All were up and grazing on the dry bracken when I left. 

Tuesday 24 Feb

 Found them in the gorse. 114 udder does look pink and a bit swollen, looking from the back. The other 2 were happily eating gorse.

Udder on 114 slightly enlarged

 Munching away in unforcast drizzle. All good but 114 of the chambers on 114 looks slightly enlarged we should keep on eye on it. 

Weds 18th - no check

Sorry all - ran out of time to check today! Will pop over tomorrow morning if needed. 

Tuesday 17th Feb - Staff Check

11.03 

Popped in on my way past 

All 3 well, have dropped a bit of condition but nothing too major, will bring out mineral lick later on in week.

Tuesday 17 Feb

 Found them munching heather near the cleared area. All content. 114 seemed fine.

All good

 Out in the open today so much easier to see 114s scratch, all good 

Sun 15th

As said earlier, all looking ok

All good

 114 continues to look like it’s healing 

All good

Fridau 13th Feb - Staff Check, all good

12.51 

114 udder crusty but no fresh blood, oozing etc 

All good, holding condition well 

Zoe 

Soaked but good

 All under trees to little effect but all good

Weds 11th Feb - all good

All 3 hanging around together near the water trough, Dyers Weed having a good drink. 

Ginseng seemed to be guarding the cattle grid, even tried to follow the lady in front of me out the gate. Her collar didn't seem to be giving her any bother so perhaps the perimeter is not quite synced to the GPS? 

By the time I looped back round they had moved on and were happily grazing along the fence line further up. 

Tuesday 10 Feb

 All chewing cud around the ashes of a fire. All looking fine and content.

Picked up some litter, cans etc.

All good

 Deep in the grouse so not the best check of the other two but 114 looks fine

All good

 Moved away from the watering hole to the very far corner happy munching 

All good

 Happy munching if a little soggy 

Weds 4th Feb - all good

All three hanging around where the fires had been. All looked happy and well, just grazing on what's been left over. 

Staff check

Checked #114's udder after concerns raised, minor scab there with no concerns as healed over.

All 3 cattle looking well and happily hanging around the contractors being nosey!

Thank you for your continued support

The grazing team

Tuesday 3 Feb

 114 and 216 were up near the digger, munching away. I couldn’t see anything on 114s udder.

Came across 225 afterwards, she was frisky and mooed.

They all seemed to be ok.

114 blood on udder

 Zoe reported seeing blood on 114 udder can we keep on eye out for this. I couldn’t see any today but they weren’t making it easy deep in the undergrowth 

All good

 Happy watching the chopping 

Sunday 1st - Report of dogs

Received a call from a member of the public, saying that a group of men with dogs were in the Fleet pond/Hartland Country Park area, harrassing and chasing wildlife. Called the police, who were already aware and at the scene. Came by anyway and ran into Michael, who hadn't seen anything untoward other than Landmarc trucks driving around. The cattle looked fine, if a little excitable, so looks like the men didn't make it into Bramshot at least. Didn't get any further calls about it so hopefully that was the end of that and the police sorted it.

Attempted to re-align the wonky posts, hopefully the cows stop using them as scratching posts!

All good

 If very soggy watching the Landmarc trucks running around in hope of being feed

Fence push over to 45 degrees

Fence at ///suiting.beefed.chop looks like they have pushed it over now at 45 degrees   Still keeping them in
