At 17:15 this afternoon, the boys were lying down, relaxing, and chewing their cud on the eastern slope of Brock's Hill, near ///soaps.grasp.scope. They all looked very comfortable, but steer 178 was happy to be approached, enjoying a head, neck, and chin rub. He thanked me with gentle head rubs and a few licks. All threee were all happy, relaxed, and in good condition.
After a while, steer 178 got up and wandered over for more attention, thoroughly enjoying a back and shoulder rub. He was shedding lots of his winter coat while being stroked. A little later, steer 75 got up and came over to say hello, content to stand close, which helped keep the flies off his face. I noted that both British White steers, 75 and 178, had some hair loss at the base of their dewlaps.
By 18:00, the boys had moved a little further north on the hillside and were happily grazing on the fresh grass growing among the bracken. I said my goodbyes about fifteen minutes later, leaving them all peacefully eating.
The cows were all good today.
