Thursday 15th February - All 4 seen - Cow 214 has a red patch at the top of her front right leg

Cow 234 and steer 227 were happily munching on grass at 14:45 this afternoon. It was really nice to see them dry for a change. Both were looking really well. Steer 227 soon stopped eating and wandered over to say hello and receive an ear rub.

Cows 214 and 215 were standing together, relaxing and chewing their cud around ///encodes.golden.boss a short time later. They, too, were both looking well. Cow 214 had a red patch at the top of her front right leg. I think she'd caught herself in the thicket, but had licked the area, making it look worse than it was. She was fine and was walking without any issues. Cow 215 was her usual friendly self and came and said hello.

The cows were all good today.
