Yes you guessed it, bucketing it down in South kerry. Heavy hard cold rain showers.

Just starting here now, miserable git of a day:(


I was fencing this morning and stuck down a few lightish corner stakes with just the tractor loader. it surprised me as I didn't think land was as wet as that.

And all the brambles and alder trees are starting to bud as well. Spring can't be long more.

Lovely day here today, a real spring day. Yesterday was a total wash out, cows still in. Land still too wet for umbilical lad to spread

Smashing day up until 10 mins ago. Spent all day up until now spreading slurry on grazed paddocks. No marking or damage. Could see rain coming in the distance, opened wire to let cows in. They legged it home, they must have seen it coming too.
There's hail and rain falling sideways now. Milling.

Cows stated in after milking, but going out now, not really fair to leave 60 on 30 cubicles for the night ha. Can move 30 drys off the other leanto of cubicles over the next day or so if sh1te hits the fan.

Lovely bright dead calm morning, still fairly cold though.

We got everything that passed. Mad the way it works. I was much closer to you for a couple of hours at rugby training and every sign it was raining heavily there a lot of the day also.

Started horsing rain at 5pm yesterday. First night I had to lock them in.
Heavy rain all night, looks like they're going to be in today aswell.

Is this bad weather forcing many of ye to rethink your turn out dates? I hand around paddys day in my head at the start of the year but judging by the state if the place and the forecast I can't see anything going out before the start of April.

Tis a bit damp out today.

Left a few springing cows out in my driest paddock last night, one of them calved . It's fairly wet this morning. Calf up and sucking-angus are hardy feckers. Still raining

Fairly wet alright.:(

You left the frying pan out on the grass there.
That must have been a tasty dinner, to do that.:D

No rain here. Wet after last night but cows back out today.

I was feeling smug that I'd missed the worst of it up until last night. But it utterly bucketed down most the night, cows waiting at the gap for afew hrs. In now on the last bit of maize, about 2 or 3 more buffer feeds of that, and 12 leafy bales, then it's grass grass grass all the way hmmm. There is a full pit of 69dmd silage which my dad would happily feed the milkers, but not on my watch. But soya hulls, rolled barley, and a neighbour who is selling maize will get me nicely outa trouble if needs be.

With the amount that's falling here it would be gone over scale long ago this morning. Not designed for Irish conditions I reckon.:)

Some rain falling today folks, ground is like jelly.
I saw the us storms online and reports they headed off east, we can look forward to more wet windy weather so.

Mooooo

Serious water falling non stop since yday evening. Spring is ending up being as late as if we had a wet dec/ Jan in terms of stock out here.will have to use heifers to dry and graze ground but they won't get thru much. Hopefully in like a lion and out like a lamb for March

I reckon it was thrown at his head by the missus last night and she missed. It just hasn't been retrieved yet
