All 5 looked OK, standing and grazing and enjoying the sun. I did try and spot the lameness in 42 but wasn’t walking around enough to notice. Water trough all ok.
Hi there, all 8 cows spread out a bit near entrance and up hill a bit. Trough isn’t leaking now but still hear filling. Perhaps they just drank from it? Many leaves in trough and would be good to know the best way to clean it out, is it just hands in and grab? I don’t want to make it worse. One cow (fluffy ears, no visible tag) lying down but not chewing cud, just doing nothing. This cow has a dry nose, seems ok. I made him stand and walk, all ok. I have just never seen a cow do nothing before, is that normal? Photo attached 😊 Happy weekend
All 5 cows looked ok this morning, all standing and grazing across the middle of the field. The blocked off gate still holding up and the water trough was full.
