Tuesday 15th April - Staff Check

All four cattle found by the ammo compound at 11.32. All healthy and no problems to report. The tick burden on the back of the black yearling is still there but seems to be causing him no stress. The growth around his right eye remains stable. 

Hoping with the recent rain and flush of vegetation, they will start putting on some condition. 

I then went to deal with the small tree on the fencline reported last week - that's now clear and I also stapled some loose wore further along to the posts. 

Found 4 ponies in D3 at 12.27 

All well with no problems, stripping gorse flowers and coming up for brief strokes before returning to grazing. They were moving up towards the ammo compound. 

Continued my search around the area for the other 2 ponies. Around 13.00, Diva split off from the other three and headed back towards D3, calling. I followed her and found the other two ponies amongst tall gorse. 

So, all ponies and cattle seen today. Please be aware that all the ponies will be taken off site in the next week or so for their holiday in the New Forest. Will update when this happens so please check the Blogger before lookering , thank you 😊 

Kind Regards, Zoe
