Neck injury reported on heifer at Bramshot

Just to let you all know that we have just had a report come in of an injury on the neck of one of the animals at Bramshot (looker reported that it was the heifer, but she could not see any ear tags).

A mark has been noted on her neck in the past few days, so it is possible that she has just knocked the scab off, causing a fresh run of blood.

We will be checking on her this morning and will follow up with the grazing team if required.

Thanks

Out on Bramshot all day today with NERT clearing scrub - the 4 came to inspect our work. All 4 looking well.

Found all 4 in L11 grazing in rough grass and young gorse. Noted the mark on Lola's neck which seemed to be dry. No problems - they all looked quite happy. Trough OK.

All 3 boys and Lola in the middle among the gorse around K9

All looking well. The boys are catching up with Lola! Thought she looked smaller, but think it might be the boys looking bigger! Regardless, all doing well.

Clevor Clogs being all confident and brash in complete contrast to Cantor who's a bit of a wuss haha!Lola has her hands full.

All in I10 at about 1145 hrs.  The young lads all OK but Lola seemingly has no ear tags at all and has a one-inch but superficial cut on left side of her neck on a slight lump there.

Found all four standing together in G5 quietly chewing cudd. They looked a bit sorrowful but no obvious problems. We had very high winds and heavy rain yesterday so they are just recovering.
Trough full and working OK.

All shwlterig in the small copse M5 / N5.

Gave them some cattle nuts and had a good look at them. Theyre all doing very well and in great condition for this time of year.

She's looking after them isnt she. They're getting bigger mind! Wont be long before she struggles to keep order!
