    Silage ...10 days behind schedule, mowed this pm, dry fields but hilly, ground very wet ,
    Brought kids to the chipper there and there are 2 of our fields mowed for bales, had texted contractor the other day. Never heard him mowing. Was raining half a mile down the road and none here. I assume he will bale monday, only have 1 roll of wrap and Monday is a bank holiday.

    Contractors usually have wrap, mine charges €3 a bale to Supply wrap.

    I was just outside in our little orchard and there is a nice few apples on the trees.

    An awful embarrassing question but how do you know when to pick them?

    We usually have to pick before the crows get at them here

    Give the apple a little twist and it should come away easily, if not then its not ripe. Normally the apples on the outside of the tree facing the Sun will ripen first. You get used to knowing which are ripe by the colour depending on variety of course.

    Few trees here and a lot of small apples fell off before they could grow.
    Not many left on trees to grow.
    I think it was just too dry here this year.
    Hard to put pigtails in ground this morning.

    Anytime the owner of the orchard isn't looking has worked for generations.

    Have a pure bred Angus bull in my dad's herd. He broke his leg in January. It has healed well. My dad's herd is not Bordbia approved but I am. If he transfers the bull to me and I keep him for 70 days will it make any difference to the price in factory. He is just gone 2 years of age
