On a grey and chill early afternoon , The cattle were all lying down in the long grass area of the big field . They were grouped around the place where the path around the east of the field protrudes westwards . I suggested politely that they might consider getting up so that I could see if there were any limpers but they all looked at me with disdain and stayed firmly where they were . To the extent that I could see they are all fine , all chewing the cud energetically , and all of them alert and engaged . Needless to say almost as soon as I started to walk away they in turn started to heave themselves to their feet and started grazing their way down towards the northeast corner of their area. From a distance they all seemed to be moving ok. The electric fence is working fine. The trough looks fine and the water supply is working properly . The nine roe deer were once again grazing in the short grass area of the large field .
