Ashley Meadows
Both cows munching away about 75 metres up from the gate, fairly central. Pump OK, odd bit of standing water on still hard ground. Electric fence - well, an ear right to the box to hear a very feint tick. Probably not doing a lot, I suspect.
Western Fen.
All three fairly close together over on the north-western side. Two seemed pretty much locked together as usual, with the third bull slightly separated.
Went over to the pump, working OK, and the bull came over to see me. Usually does with some soft talking. The other two followed, so not much walking. All looking pretty good.
I just hope that they get through the next TB check. Will be very sad to see the bull fail it. Or all three for that matter.
The area seemed quite dry, considering all comments of late. However, I did not have to go far in, as they came to me.
The purpose of this blog is: For staff and volunteers to record what is happening and who has seen what. For lookers to post a record of their livestock checks. To act as a formal record of livestock wellbeing and welfare checks. For lookers to access up-to-date information on livestock and site status, and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.
