All 12 animals present and correct in the railway field . Initially all but one were on the south facing slope . One was on its own over by the trough but started to make its way back to the main group as soon as I arrived . The others were all grazing steadily apart from two who were lying down . All looking fine . As I walked across towards their trough they all started to follow , albeit very slowly . I couldn’t see any signs of anyone limping so obviously the grazing team has worked some spectacular magic . Their trough was clear of ice and the water supply working fine . For what it is worth the trough in the other field remains frozen solid and I could make no impression upon it . No less than eight roe deer seen which is the largest number I have seen in the meadow since I started lookering here two years ago.
Also please note that I am away from 28th jan to 12th feb inclusive . This means I cannot check the cows at Barton on Jan 31st, feb 2nd, 7th and 9th . So if anyone can help on these days it would be much appreciated . If you can perhaps you can drop bea and I a line . Thanks very much indeed
