After chronic back problems since Christmas it was great to get back walking today on the area.  The cows were down cudding near the trough and look very fit and well.  Trough OK too.

Saturday morning

Had to do a quick lap this morning but didn't spot the cows unfortunately. Water looked fine

All meeting at the trough for a drink at around 10am this morning. Trough working ok, and all looking good and wagging their tails at us lol. On our walk back, they (all 3 of them) were reaching up to get to higher branches, looked funny.
Called Guy to report that yesterday, contractors (for the army we assume) erected a large metal gate in O13 (Pyestock side) and removed the swing gate that was there. Not sure what their plans are for the other gates around the site...thought you should be aware though

Tree, gate fix and cattle spotting.

Spotted the 3 between K and L13 so thats where they got their lick, and they certainly tucked into that! All seemed fine, they're usual bouncy selves and in good health.

Next task, assess pine tree over chainlink fence:

Found that pretty easy, defo chainsaw job bit hoping I've managed to find a guy who is responsible for Heartland Village and Berkley Homes. Gave him location and he said he would sort so crossing fingers. Fence still stock proof.



Then it was the gate Debbie raised concerns about. Taken measurements for knackered posts and stuck in a couple chestnut intermediates to sure it up, that ain't going anywhere soon.

Gate surround unsafe in A7

All found in the North East of the site. Looking well on another rainy day.

Licked dropped off between K5 and L5 in the heath about 10m off track. All looked well but one of the boys was mounting 005 so expect to see some possible patchiness around flanks and rear end.

Sunday afternoon

All very chilled this afternoon, lying down and chewing:
