Weds 30th

My first lookering! 

8am - All four towards the southern end of the site, happily grazing. One was a little separate from the others (only had one ear tag and was on the side facing away from me, but I think was 114). 

Took a while to find them as I didn't refresh the map properly - will remember for next time!! 

Tuesday 29th July - Staff Check

All girls busily grazing in canal side this afternoon. 

They've dropped a little condition since I last saw them but nothing to worry about.

There is plenty of forage here for them. 

225 and 108 were alternating between smacking each other with their heads, grooming and trying to mount one another 

This is typical behaviour, either one or both of them are in oestrus. It can get quite aggressive so please be aware of that when checking and keep a safe distance. 

Stream levels are a little higher now which is good. 

Cheers, Zoe

Wednesday 16th July - All good

I was working at nearby Bramshot so I walked down this afternoon to check on the girls. 

They were all in the northern end of the site grazing happily, though black and white 108 was a considerable distance from the other three and I had to search for a while to find her. She's missing an ear tag which is now on order. 

Stream is very low but still flowing 

All good

 Happily chewing the cud

Tuesday 15th July - Staff Check

All four resting in the woodland by Barford close.

114 a little way away from the other three. 

Looking well, no streaming eyes today, fly burden greatly reduced. 

Will aim to come up again this week at some point. 

 

All good

 Finally they are out of the bush. All looking very good

Sun 13th July all seen

All seen under the trees in the northern end of the corral end. No eye problems seen, tho obviously lots of flies in the hot weather 

All good

Failed to see them

 I could hear them grazing around me but the grouse was so thick I couldn’t see them up to the right of where the stream/ canal meets. 114 pop her head out to say hello briefly but not the others ….

Tuesday 8th July - Staff Check - 225 eye

All four girls resting in the shade of the woodland nearest Barford close. 

225 has a very mild runny eye, I am not concerned just yet but going to keep an eye on it.  They are all looking content and relaxed. 

Friday 4th July - Staff Check

All four girls on the move this morning, I followed them into canal section where they began grazing happily. 

All looking very well. Plenty of forage. Water levels of stream good. 

Thursday 3rd July - All good this evening

All four girls looking great and no problems. 

Tom and I checked on them as we were down here dealing with a fallen tree on the fencline.
