Ah it's a good day when you can get your hedge cut so you can see your badgers.
I'd say the wife is thrilled..

Day is not actually too bad here. Not much rain overnight and stock out again.

I hear Alan O Reilly of Carlow Weather of ^^above on the local radio news bulletin about the weather. Another time it'd be Met Eireann. ME are either thrilled or fuming at losing work. I see he's been given the use of a car to promote that car brand. And people say talking about the weather doesn't pay the bills..

It took 12 years before it gave me any benefit :P

A mix really, fr 4530, fr 2298 I've calved a fair share of him no bother, aa4088 as well. Heifers got feck all ration, tbh I was thinking I should have given them more as think some are lacking in condition so silage for the most part, a bit of maize but not much. Some are the last of the autumn born heifers so perhaps put more into the calf as are near fully grown themselves at 2.5

I'm not making much effort this winter to hold back the drycows or incalf heifers, the silage is reasonably wet but they are getting ad-lib hay and a decent bit of maize, and anything in the calving shed get nearly a full milker diet, and thankfully I'm having very few problems with calvings, alot less than some previous years.

Sure it feels like it's been raining for six months now with an odd short break here and there.

It's supposed to get better from midweek but even my dry fields are saturated this morning. Fecking hate having cows in milking, it adds another 2 hours to the day.

Rain just broke there in last few minutes.
Was relentless and blustery too.

Just waiting for the next round of high winds and flogging rain. Joy .....

We had a break and the sky brightened well.
But had a burst of heavy rain, hail and wind. It just slathered out of nowhere and lasted 20 minutes, but serious rain fell in that time. It’s heading on your way now.
