Susan Hofgartner was the Constable with Helen Jones and Eileen Bowyer as the Tithingmen. Paul Lewington was the Orangeman.
We had torrential rain the day before when the Tutti Poles were being dressed.

A couple of things from us this morning…
It looks like Highways has shut the Denford bridge road! We’re unsure how long for!
The black and white cow that was unwell this morning is up and on his feet. He is feeling very poorly - the vet and farmer are aware and he is under observation!
Thank you to all who reported him to us!

Correct, there are a lot of vehicles parked on the junction with the common road. Also the cows are moving along and across the road a LOT and feeding from the road. I’ve been flashing my lights to warn oncoming drivers 😉
Town & Manor of Hungerford How are the cows that were in the canal a few evenings ago? My husband was there and wondered if they are ok
There was supposed to be a road closure at Lower Denford today for road maintenance, but it was open at 4.30pm & no sign of any work done?
We’re aware of a cow that had decided to stay alone within some trees and doesn’t appear to have moved all night.
Thank you to all who messaged their concerns.
We have people heading to check on her/him!

We’ve been made aware of a post in Hungerford Community Group regarding one of our cows escaping and now being injured!
Three hours. That’s all it took 🤣🫣
Anyway; a huge huge thank you to those who helped the cow.
They will continue to be monitored but so far - they look ok!
Please do save this number and either report any cow issues directly to this page OR text / call 07768 255831!
Thanks so much 🐄🐄🐄🐄

Glad u found the injured one. I was on school run and didnt expect to see a cow in the road 🙈 😂 it went back into common without a fuss though bless it x
The phrase "silly cow" comes to mind! 🐄
Glad all the ladies are 👍. It’s not the cows that are silly rather ‘ 2 legs bad’😉
Look Who’s Back 👀👀
They’ve made it to us safely!
Please please PLEASE bear in mind that these cows have never seen a car move at speed, let alone be in the path of one. 🚗
Over the coming days and weeks, please drive extra carefully over the common and give the cows the space that they need to work it all out.
If you’re out walking, please do leave plenty of room between yourself and the herd. They haven’t seen lots of people and dogs before so they will be curious to begin with. Please keep your dogs close by and again, give them lots of space. 🐶
We can’t thank you enough for your co(w)operation!

Was walking my dog today on the common and a kind man in a Town and Manor vehicle kindly stopped and told me the cows were being released in about 10 minutes. Good to know!
Just seen this post on the Hungerford. Hope the cow is all ok
We'll be giving the Common a miss for a few days while they calm and settle in (reactive pup), but can't wait to see them out there for the summer!
Sarah Elderfield go careful when driving over The Common and make sure you lock your car doors. 🤣
Cannot wait to see them on our daily walks! One of the main reasons I love living here.
I miss these beauties ❤️🐄
When are they coming to the Marsh?
So what happened to the last cows that you all cooed over…?
🐄 They’re back! 🐄
The cows will be returning to the Common today, arriving from around 12 noon – a sure sign that the seasons are shifting and another one of Hungerford’s most loved traditions is underway again. We’re bashing out the annual traditions thing week, aren’t we?🎉
If you’re out and about this afternoon, keep an eye out as they make their way onto the Common – it’s always a special sight to see them make their way on to the common.
❗️As always, please take care when driving nearby, keep dogs under close control, and give the cattle plenty of space so they can settle back in safely ❗️
Welcome back, ladies & gents! 🌿🐄

I hope it's only Ladies.because if there is any Gents among them surely we are in trouble.
Only being a hungerford resident for 12 years now, forgive the question but I’d love to know the history of the cows on the common.
Unless my eyesight is playing tricks with me, the brown one is definitely a young male.
It's not the ideal place for cattle with heavy vehicles and cars driven by expert drivers and of course the dog walkers cattle and dogs don't mix just hope there are no casualties..

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
