does anyone have their cows out?

frazzledhome

Out day and night with 2 weeks, challenging but managing.

Cows out last night and I stood in collecting yard from 10.30 as was lashing. No damage to date with a bit of on off when needed. Cows on 5 kgs nuts also

Took a chance, cows out tonight. Fcuk it, they can come in if they want. Night is fine here so far, and we had a great drying day.

Have cows out already for one week. Maiden heifers will be let outside the next week.

Clutch Pack

Let the cows out at 10, started utterly bucketing down at 11, had my very unimpressed dad shouting to bring them back in then. Shedspace very limited for the milkers at the second, I'm flatout trying to empty the roofed pit in the 2nd yard, will boot as many drycows into that as I can then.

llet them out this morn was nice and dry, went to nephews christening, came out of church was lashing rain, too far away to go home gather cows, only home no and paddock isn't too bad but still would prefer if they were in tho

I'd say it will be April at this stage, might let small cattle out to graze off the wetter paddocks at that stage before taking them to outfarm,

just do it

MTC has mild as the predominant feature in his long term outlook. Mild = wet ?

I don't have a word of German either but It looks like high pressure is taking over from Wed. I find this site fairly reliable.

So is the main line the divide between the gulf stream keeping the polar weather back? There's a name for it but I can't think of it...

I hope your right and the model comes true

The jet stream, is it. This site seems to be on the same word.

What app is that from JDI

whitebriar

Those apps are useless for forecasts beyond 24hrs because they are auto generated from the gfs weather model which changes 4 times a day and is unreliable past 48hrs.
Never make any decisions based on weather apps.

Greengrass1

I use met eirann app. Fairly accurate tbh

tabby aspreme

Don't know which apps the crows use but they have started building today, last year they didn't start till April

biddy2013

bringing in last of the suckler cows today:D:D

I'm convinced it going to be a great year when it gets going,

In 2012 we had little or no rain in Feb and we paid for it in June July august,

accuweather. Agree with post about it's accuracy but handy for a quick glance. Gives an hourly forecast for next 24hrs which is fairly accurate.

I have my cows out:D
