Out in the field?
Then usual suspects of dumped rubbish or milk fever (especially when you say in good condition).

No in cubicle shed. Perhaps slipped but would hardly be gone in the couple of hours since I last looked at em. She wasn't due till May, on baled silage wasn't even worried about her. In good knick but not very fat either. Will talk to get in morning but Knackery is a good distance from them and vets are busy and there is only one lad Id want to do the pm but at the same time she's gone now rest seem fine so dunno. If it stays any way dry the rest will be out at the week end and get silage in the field

Making a couple of pits of silage today and tomorrow. Ryegrass and crimson clover mix. Also cc mix of peas, wheat, vetch and balansa clover.
Temps are much lower than normal but grass has exploded so may take out some grazing paddocks also.

Early start.

Will the lower temps make it harder to wilt the clover?

If it won’t take a tractor it must be a fairly messy job grazing it.

Going in from opposite side of paddocks and back fencing. It's the rain in the last 3 days has made it much softer, wasn't too bad till then

What is the cost per acre to establish those crops? How many cuts from the ryegrass crimson mix? At what yield? I assume the other mix is one cut only?

Signed up for the gene Ireland straws here and still haven't got them. 7 days of breeding done here too.
I reckoned I'd have enough fr straws along with these for the first round of AI and repeats. I'll have to use them on repeats in the second 3 weeks now I reckon. Technician only gets deliveries on a Wednesday so illl be well over half way by then even if they do arrive

Sitting in the sunshine in a field just N of Paris...it's divine...

It's absolutely marvellous to get a shot of sunshine on the face after the months of drudgery.

Silage cut in quiet a few places...trees fully leafed out...looking forward to Summer at home now...
