During my first dog walk of the day (6.30am) the sheep were all congregated by the fence in the South East corner (right near my house!) I then walked into the field at around 8.30am and all 61 sheep were spread out all across the Eastern field - with the long grass they're much harder to count now. The cattle were grazing in the North East side of the field. I couldn't see any issues other than a few dirty backsides, it's so wet out there, the footpath is now very boggy in places but the field is fine, it seems to drain very well despite all of the rain. Water trough fine.
This is a blog for Barton Meadows. The purpose of this blog is for staff and lookers to post a record of their livestock checks. The blog acts as a formal record of livestock wellbeing and welfare checks by providing access to up-to-date information on livestock and site status, and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust
