I hope Brutus is okay. When I first moved to The Holler I observed the cows conducting a funeral. I posted on online query about it. Months later I noticed there was hundreds of people weighing in about cattle funerals. They had all witnessed them. I most amazed by a Masai herdsman who wrote about observing this many times. He explained how intelligent and socially connected cattle are. So, I do hope Brutus was just resting and chewing his cud.

It’s clearly something wrong with his leg.

Yes, Hans. It’s not the first time that Brutus has injured his foot. Whatever the problem, it will be sorted quickly. I will check home later today.
