*All livestock off site* Fri 28th June

Hello all, 

The cattle have all (reluctantly) left Barton Meadows and are now squelching around Winnall. 

Thank you all for your hard work and Sam will be in touch shortly.

Wednesday 26th June

 All 9 cows sheltering in the shade by the road. Look content, no problems seen.

Cow put back in (Grazing Team)

Report of cow out, now back in. Found one piece of top strand barb wire which was low so have re-tensioned. Cows sprayed for flies.

Monday 24th

(writing on Tuesday lunchtime) All 9 cows present and correct on Monday evening, no limping and no visible injuries. The bolt on the metal cover on of the water trough mechanism was off so I was able to swivel it to have a look - I don't know if it was always like that and I've been unobservant, or if that's new. I have photos but I need to send them from my phone to the computer.

Just seen on the neighbourhood group chat that the cows have escaped - I swear I shut and locked the gate behind me last night.

Friday 21st

All 9 cows good. Water trough working fine. A lot of flies on the cows.

Sun 16 Jun

All 9x cows seem well - grazing lots and moving very little. Trough fine.

Lots of pyramidal orchids flowering outside the enclosures, near Courtenay Road.

Wednesday 12th June

 All 9 cows grazing in the far corner by the houses, looking content and well. Lots of lovely flowers and butterflies to see.

Monday 10th June

 9 Cows present, all seems fine. Four were laying down and didn't get up as I approached, but the others moved in between me and the cows en repose, so I didn't try to get any closer close. They all watched me move around and seemed alert and semi interested. No visible injuries or limping. Eventually they all lay down, and then it started to rain, so I guess the saying is true.

Wednesday 5th June

 All 9 cows  at the top of the big field by the fence. They were all laying down together  looking very content, no problems seen.
