    Your ponds full for irrigation later in year so, or will a lot of it evaporate by the time it's needed

    They were full after about 5 days rain.
    Evaporation takes a little...there is a formula to calculate it but I don't have it to hand.
    Apart from the annoyance of constant flooding, it could dry up in March and have nothing until November...

    Dry but with masses of clouds scooting in all directions, think it will snow later on - at least that is what the forecasters have predicted.

    do you include maize in diet, heard a chap last week claim since including maize meal in diet , feet issues have reduced in dairy herd.

    No. Don't have maize. Grass/grass silage is the only feed that 90% of our animals ever get. Most of the animals have cubicles to lay on, so I think a certain few animals "just have bad feet"

    We have had about 5 rain free days here in north Galway since last October, the only thing out on our land now are swans. Milkers will be lucky to get out by beginning of April.

    In scotland atm and it was pouring from about 12 midday. Was really hoping it was just here but DSW and KG have really dashed my hopes. Looks like moving slurry from tank to tank on Saturday is a definite
