It’s a shame a big game like that is spoiled by inclement weather conditions.

Wind hasn’t been really bad here in Leitrim,strongest gusts were around 2pm.

Final score was 2-2 to 0-4 our local team lost. Very low scoring for a county final

31mm rain here since 4pm yesterday.. dry now…

older by the day

A lot of rain here since 3pm yesterday. Showers now. Things are starting to get messy. Cows still out by night and there isn't much rain coming for the next few days.

Great October compared to the dirty rotten October 2023

Base price

13.5c here at the moment with a high of 17c. There wasn't a breath of wind all day. Ground conditions are ok but still a little soft underfoot. All cows/cattle are still out except for a couple of HEx bull calves that I brought into the shed last month for a bit of TLC.

Not a aminal in. Stores I bought a month ago are triving. Nor not looking they will for a while. Grass is growing..… this can't be right.

We'll take it while we're getting it. We had an awful start to the year

Isn't fine weather like this an absolute blessing this time of year? Last year I gave out my first silage bale on 24th Oct. No bales opened yet this year and I let cattle into a fresh field of lush grass this morning. I still have plenty of grass. In fact I have more now than I did during July. Got some aftergrass from a neighbour which helped big time.

Just back in from feeding the wild cats in the yard and the outdoor thermometer is reading 13.7c. We've still got all the cattle out and long may it continue.

Trying to keep the youngstock out as long as possible, that mild westher wouldn't be good for them in a shed

17 degrees there at 11am, madness

Same here, hearing of a few cases of pneumonia, cattle sweating in sheds.

Better off with a bale outside where possible, even if to sacrifice a paddock

i grazed a field two weeks ago and intend on grazing it again there's a fine sward of smashing grass on it frost and snow would burn it away

Yea plenty of pneumonia about, I'd a few cases a fortnight ago but that was down to not been wormed.

All cattle was put in 10 days ago when heavy rain was about.

Only worming stock today and have put back out odds and ends to take advantage of the nice growth and borderline good ground conditions.

Don't like the weather being this warm this time of year. Rather it to be abit harsh as its Nov. Just waiting on the other goot to kick me

Last few years there's been frost around may day.

It's easy to see there's been a swap in seasons somewhat.

Plan for that and enjoy now.

I says

17c here today.Heavy cattle back out. Weanlings still in shed dosed and with them new arrivals they’d run amok getting out now.

Silverdream

Another fantastic week ahead, dry and settled, temps in the low to mid-teens. Hard to believe we are in the Month of November, the first month of winter and only 42 days away from the winter solstice.

Currently, all weanlings and yearlings out, about 1/3rd of the Cows in.

Strong possibility of cold weather maybe snowy from next weekend on. A forecast is only just a possibility though.

That's way beyond forecasting though. The cold weather hasn't even happened or not yet. When if it happens forecasts change.

Yearling cattle grazed a 3.5 acre paddock two weeks back and it's growing again, lovely green soft grass.... it's mad Ted.

older by the day

It been foggy and muggy here the last three days.

I have most outside places fed. Looking like housing Friday. It will hopefully be a bit fresher weather. I would not like to be housing in this type of Weather

Dickie10

do you ever notice the grass diagram in farmers journal has a black line that says 10 year average? it never seems to shift forward surely we dont get up to 30-40kg dm in mid march to april anymore? last 8 years there has been very little growth around 20th march on about 7 out of 8 of those years. before 2008 when would grass have kicked off most years ? around mid march? dosent seem to get going properly most years now until 2nd week in april.

I hope this Winter isn't shaping up like 2010/2011. I see Met Eireann has issued an advisory for next week for a cold snap with a possibility for ice/snow in the Northern and Western part of the country.

Don't think so as in them years there was Savage rain. I remember the Shannon had flooded in Nov well into the following march

Well hopefully
