Silage ground in the foreground, our bog/forest in the midground. Need to go to town on the weeds in the paddock boundaries. they're gonna get an intensive spraying/cutting/spraying attack between now and may.



Pulled a lot of ragwort, but I fear tis a losing battle with this across the hedge.



What do I do with this stuff? let it rot, or burn it?

Definitely. and with the state of the place I have many many years of satisfaction ahead of me.

The whole place is in a state of disrepair, only a few years away from things going completely to wreck and ruin probably. My plan is to try and carry out good repairs as opposed to replacing things wholesale, we just dont have the money for that.

Hopefully we can get the place to a stage where it just needs a "normal" level of maintenance going forward. This year's priorities are environmental H&S concerns.

I know the feeling! Do a bit every day and you won't feel it as bad.

loved that pic they are my type cows and the timber doors on the shed make for nice viewing in comparison to all the galvanise and concrete we see everywhere these days

A BAX cow with twin CH calves at foot. The cow is about 800Kgs and the calves are about 330Kgs. She is a real good breeding cow, The twins took a bit out of her and she repeated to AI a couple of times so we put her to the CH bull again.
The last pic is a BBX CH cow with a CH calf a few days old at foot. He is getting into a super calf, about 3/4 weeks old now.

Ya, fine looking cattle. The cows look like they're fit to kill.
What's that on the calf's nose?

Don't forget that sometimes you need to forget the farmwork and just do a spot of fishing!!

Came across these on my travels through Donegal last week. Some cracking charolais calves with them. Are they out of these?

I asked myself the same question when I noticed it first!
It's just his colouration.
