Reserve Update

 Hi all,

As you are aware the cows are now off site, wet, wet, wet.

Just wanted to thank you all for your time checking the livestock this year! It is much appreciated :)

All the best,

Sam

 Cattle now gone.

Richard Friday 20th October

In luck again- it was not raining early this morning when I went to check the cows. My luck ran out at the gate. I could just see one black cow far down the east side of the field so I went to look for them. The field is very very wet and in places more than knee deep as I discovered.

Took some time to find all seven. Two were at the eastern fence under trees and very difficult to see. The white one watched me carefully.

All seven munching well. They all looked well, but I did not get close to them.

Cattle all at the north of Ashley Meadow around 11:30, making me work to even see them! Non electric fence again off one of the posts, probably meaning that one of them had crossed the wires. But all the cattle looked well and munching; took the cream leader some of the cattle nuts, as usual others look on longingly.

Luckily for us,

the cows were easily visible and countable because they were spread out near the gate. All 7 eating and looked well if rather wet.

Thanks to Sam for telling us about the battery.

Site Update

 Hi all,

I've removed the battery for the EF, it was dead. Will charge and replace when I'm next on site in 2 weeks.

 The cows were hiding sitting down near the far end of the meadow, so we had to walk all the way down there to find them! They all got up, showing us their faces, which all looked fine and their tags appeared to be ok. Then they turned and ran off into the far corner, so we could see they were all moving well.
