Was raining here most of the night but not heavy. One cat came in at 1am, soaked. Other came in at 3am, plastered his wet noggin all over my face. Then let them out at five and it was just drizzling a fine sort of mist.

Will be housing fulltime here next week, said I'd take advantage of dry weather and try and clean out paddocks and will have everything grazed by then. Would have had to house by night start of last week to stretch things out but graze out wouldn't have been as good and would have gotten caught with rain at some stage Heifers and dry cows will have another week or two out and maybe yearlings depending on weather. Will have high spring demand so should be ok if there ends up being good growth over winter anyway

Have to shelve the idea of putting roof on new shed.

Not so easy to get things done when you have a job along with the farm.:o

foxy farmer

Wet and windy in west cork. Lying in bed this morning it sounded like January and February of 2014 with the wind.
Local contractor had been on to me about giving a hand hauling maize on a long draw today. Farmer in question was convinced today would be ok. Sometimes I wonder what forecast do they be looking at.

Wet and windy East Wicklow
Not too much rain so far but its coming

WheatenBriar

Had a bit of rain last night and the cows were on soft ground and no damage so small enough amount. Going back in again tonight to clean out hopefully.
