Cattle still at Pondtail

 Thanks for the query regarding the cattle. The 3 British Whites are still at Pondtail and are due to stay there for a while longer as there's loads of grass there given the wet summer and the wet heath habitat there. 

We will post an update when they're due to be returning to Bramshot.

Many thanks

 Morning all, it’s been a while now with no updates….

What is happening with the cows?  Are they going to return to Bramshot and if so, when?

I’m even being asked by dog walkers where they are and when will they be back!

Bramshot info

Hi guys, I have spoken to the guy in charge of managing Bramshot and he says that the cattle have been moved due to bracken spraying and will be offsite for at least a month. Pondtail hasn't been grazed since October and Bramshot hasn't had a rest from grazing for a long time, so the forage should be nice and lush for the cows to enjoy! 

If anyone wishes to contribute to checking the herd while they are on Pondtail, please drop me a line and I can pop you onto the Pondtail blog. We currently have cover for Mondays and our Pondtail looker Helen is happy to check them regularly every other week when she is not on her boat, so let me know and we'll organise a rota.

Thank you all for your time and effort in looking after our lovely Bramshot trio 😊

Friday 30th - no cows

Been searching Bramshott for hours, windy and sideways rain, even ended up asking dog walkers..... thanks for the heads up on the move!

Cows moved to Pondtail

Tuesday

Teasel came bouncing over as usual. Her and Caledonia look well, other than flies. As already mentioned, Evan has weeping eyes. 

I looked at the trough and it's OK for now, let us know if it gets worse!

Teasel says hi!

Monday 26th July

Found the trio lying down together chewing the cud at K10, at 11.10am this morning. Lots of annoying flies around but all 3 looked ok. Had as close a look at Evan's left eye as I dared, but it seemed alright to me. A streak of tear fluid down his muzzle but nothing obviously wrong, (see photo). 

Trough a little 'scummy' on the top so I swished it around with a stick, but I doubt whether that made any difference!😂
