Placid cattle on a placid day - very still, very overcast, very quiet. The cattle were clearly savouring a peaceful beginning to the day just as much as I was. These are beef cattle,destined for market, but at least enjoy a free range life in the meantime. This field commonly floods in winter and so the beef farmer probably overwinters his cattle in a barn, with deep straw bedding. These particular beasts will no doubt have the company of roast potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding before the first of the winter floods.
