Saturday 24th February - All 4 seen - Cow 234 has a couple of pink patches near her front left leg

Cow 214 was standing under a tree in the area around ///footpath.soil.breeze at noon. She was relaxing and chewing her cud. She soon wandered over to say hello. The mark on her side was gone today. The other three were busy eating. They were all happy and relaxed and enjoying the grass. Cow 234 had a couple of pink patches close to her front left leg.

Steer 227 came over and said hello and received a long ear rub. He was losing lots of hair from his back and sides while being stroked. I hope the cows aren't shedding their winter coats too soon following the overnight frost.

The army had left Camp 45.

The cows were all good today.
