Kissing gate wide open

 ///advantage.trimmer.officer

Kissing gate at this location is wide open not an issue for now as it’s in the original paddock 

All happy grazing away

Collars giving early warning

 All good and look to still be enjoying the fresh grass by the gate dividing the fields. Collar was giving warning about 2 m from the gate to the track leading up to the canal. This might be by design but the grass towards that fence looks tasty

In far paddock all good

 Not sure if the gate is meant to be open but it is and the girls are loving the lash grass by the gates

Friday 27th March

Reported on Pondtail Blog, but I agree about the gate issue, (although I'd be very impressed if the cows could get through!😄).

Gate towards stream not easy to close

 The gate by the ford in the stream is not easy to close and is being left open. The inner tube is doing its job of keeping the gate close in but it rests 10cm open 

All good

 As no one had checked them since Wednesday popped in to see the girls in their new home. Very happy munching the heather

Wednesday 25th March - COW MOVE

Girls moved to Pondtail this afternoon at 12.18. 

Happy with the prospect of a bit more to eat! 

For the time being they are grazing the half of pondtail closest to bramshot whilst I sort a couple of fencing issues on the other half nearest the canal

Friday 20th March

All 3 munching grass in the sunshine at ///pilots.abundance.dries.

Dyers Weed's udder still distended and sore looking but she doesn't appear to be bothered by it.

Tiny flies around all 3's udders today.

11.30am

Weds 18th March - all good

All three grazing in the sunshine - enjoying themselves so much they didn't even look up when I arrived! All looking well. 

Tues 17th March - Staff check

All 3 seen at the railway end of the site. 114's udder still swollen and a little sore looking but bleeding has scabbed over

Tuesday 17 March

 

Met Michael today and we had a ‘cow discussion’, Dyers weed’s udder is still swollen but much better. The other 2 happily munching gorse on Fleet pond side.

Tuesday 10 March

 Found in corner Fleet pond/railway side. Grazing on brambles, especially Dyers weed(114) who has some caked blood on udder, teat still swollen, seemed ok. 225 lying down chewing her cud. 216 grazing contentedly.

Monday 9th - Staff Check

 Found the three girls in the more northern cleared area. I gave them a lick, which they enjoyed a lot. Having just said to not worry about 114's udder, when I saw her today it looked cut and was weeping, so have updated the grazing team again. Keeping us on our toes this one!

All good

 All looking happy in the heather this morning 

All good

 Happily grazing the heather this morning 

114 Udder Update

 I have spoken to the Grazing Team again about 114's udder. It is likely, as it has been swollen for a while and unchanging, that it is just a bit bigger now. If it changes drastically then please do let us know, but otherwise it should be fine.

Thank you all

Friday 6th March

All 3 sheltering under some trees at /// tricky.bottle.spaceship as it was very wet.

Dyers Weed, (114), still has a swollen and reddish teat, (front left), but other than that all fine if a little soggy today.

2.00pm.

Wednesday 4th - Staff Check

Out here doing fenceline and infrastructure surveys today.

All girls good today, napping in sun. No issues to report. 

Zoe 

Weds 4th - all good

All three grazing in the recently cleared patch towards the railway line. 114 looking better, and others still looking well. Maybe getting a tiny bit skinnier? 

All good

 Happy enjoying the sunshine 

All good

 114 has one chamber in the udder enlarged but it appears stable and no weeping. All good otherwise
