    It is cold and windy. Busy watching the lambs that are outside to make sure they are alright


    And our stock is out grazing 24/7....we must be top of the league.
    Sounds like right PITA, If I had to go out at 10 to move sheep....they'd stay where they are

    With the price you guys down there are paying for land you would want them out all year round.

    Utterly bucketed down here the last hr, drains flooding up etc. Cows standing off on the slatts at the minute, booting them across to the silage paddock they were grazing today is definitely not a running at the min, time to go find a closer spot that they won't do as much damage getting into tonight. Will leave them standing off till 10 or 11pm. Been flatout from 7am till now, and prb an hr ahead of me still, I utterly fooking hate March!!!
    Not a drop of rain here all day, Tim, strong, cold wind blowing with great drying all day and a huge improvement in ground conditions since the morning.

    You'd swear we were a thousand miles apart rather than 160 or 170 miles:(

    I'm even closer to Timmaay and have no rain all day.
    It stopped about 9 am this morning and even then it wasn't that much over night.
    Even when the father was bringing the calves to the mart in enniscorthy this morning it was bucketing rain in there and not a drop here.

    It's swings and roundabouts with this stuff.:o

    I must have!:)
    I'm not sure what's happened the last few days as we've escaped the worst of it and usually any rain going hits here.

    Even when timmaay was saying last night about the rain. I looked at the radar on Met Eireann and all the rain was going around wexford from Wicklow down to Waterford.
    I only brought the cows in last night from reading MT cranium's weather forecast last night for snow accumulations. So started up the tractor and bedded the houses. I'd say the neighbours thought i'd lost it with the tractor going at 12 o clock at night.:pac:

    Would you not think a small bit early for grass seed?
    You could have savage grass come 2nd week May if the weather played ball... but if we got late frosts, you could be caught... I pose tis anytime you plant something tis a gamble on the weather... :)

    Trying to get afew of the wetter paddocks close to the parlour grazed off (fed up of walking the cows 4times a day to the far silage ground), the inch and a half of rain during the week has left them the wettest and softest they have been all spring/winter! Had to let the cows into one of them tonight, 2 more are an utter no go zone for the next week at least.

    That field was no good the way it was. Finished very heavy cattle in it the back end so was do it now or wait another few wks and not being able to graze it anyway.

    I'd say anytime you can get the ground dry in Galway is a good time to sow.:pac:

    It's giving it wet again from Tuesday and to the weekend and then the weekend is looking promising again for a few days but then the GFS is giving it wet again up to the 10th April. So no frost there. But as always it's not set in stone it's just a guideline.

    Some rush with tractors going on around me here with lads sowing corn and getting ground ready for potatoes. 24 hours job.

    Yeah, plenty lads ploughing and tilling round here too. Haven't seen any corn in yet, but that could be tomorrow's job.

    Meant to say Clough that I hope it goes well for you. Didn't mean to come across hoping that it wouldn't...
