Cattle check 29/06/26

 Hi all

Cattle check today from 08.00-08.30, all 6 cattle up and grazing near gate. Flies at a minimum, but definitely cooler today, all grazing and looking very healthy, eyes clear.

Water pump, works well, black and white one gave me a great demonstration on how it works! Then wanted to make friends!!

Electric fence looks slightly slacker than the last time I checked, and unit itself sounds quiet, couple of pieces of grass on line but no clicking  noise heard? Maybe worth checking 

Otherwise good, they are certainly clearing the grazing...

Checked cattle around 8am.

All 6 3/4 of the way up the field. The field is much drier than last Friday.

All eating and moving. All clean and not bothered by flies.

Pump and fence work ok. Fence seems a bit weak.

 Hi all

Checked cattle this morning between 08.00-08.30, water pump works well, electric fence all intact... All 6 stock present and correct, 5 standard, one lying down all Central too field, seems content, most either grazing or chewing the cud, flies were at a minimum, all eyes free from discharge and udders normal.

Hopefully they can find some shade this week 

Thanks

Friday 19th

Checked the cattle around 8.30 am. 
5 were sitting in a dry area in the middle of the field chewing the cud. The sixth was standing by the west fence . I later saw him eating a tree branch.

Both the pump and the electric fence work ok.

The southern end of the field is still very wet.

Monday 15th June

I visited Fishlake in the afternoon to take some photos Whilst I was passing, all 6 cattle were visible from the gate. I did not have appropriate footwear to go into the field. At first 4 were standing and eating and the other 2 were sitting. Later that changed. All looked well and clean.

Friday 12th

Found all 6 eating well. The pump works .

Not sure about the electric fence: no clicks from the energizer and I felt nothing when I touched the fence via my fleece.

Field very  wet especially on south and west sides.

Lots of lovely marsh orchids .

Cattle Check - Jo

Checked the cows this morning, 5 were sitting down and 1 standing 3/4 of the way down the meadow in the middle. All well and relaxed, 1 hereford had quite a few flies around it's eyes. Just something to keep an eye on.
