Grazing 2021

memorystick

Thought I’d start a thread so lads can share what’s going on on the grass front. Grass starting to move and place starting to dry out. Hoping to let cattle out next weekend to graze off silage ground. Still have bales left. Anyone with cattle out?

How are you finding grass this week. My farm cover is dropping like a stone at 550kg today. The cold weather and rain over the last week sent me into a tail spin. I may have to rehouse again.

Field was swimming after last night rain with zero dry lying for them so into the shed this evening. Hated doing it but no choice.

I let 16 back into the bird cover again with a round bale. There’s a pick grass init too . Normally have it sown by now so glad I haven’t. Got a ton of sulpa can to shake on 16 acres of reseeded paddocks so a week in bird cover will give that a chance

It’s getting messy now. How are calves doing this year? Very hard on them with cold rain and no growth.

Put in some bks on monday to give fields a chance to recover. Theyre settled grand now hoping to get them back out next week as fields are greening up.

Fine set up.
I had to do the same last Saturday.
Disaster... but at least I've plenty of bales.
Supposed to get warm last week in May.. here's hoping huge burst of growth.

Going to put in 20 stores. Ground absolutely saturated here after today's rain. They are only walking grass into the ground and bogging the place. Better off in for a few days

Where is that? Conditions where I am in N Galway not so bad, not too much rain, but no growth due to lack of heat.

Ground is drying out quickly. And really fast growth. Don't feed too many bales.

surprised how sticky the top surface got ( joys of farming in heavy yellow clay i suppose) considering how dry ground had been. Plenty silage bales left over so low growth suited me this year

Base price

I walked fields on Thursday that got slurry 3 weeks ago and you could still see it in places but it's a different picture this morning. The grass is jumping out of the ground.

Enough to make a field look better but that's about it.

Possible it is speeding up these days. Hope so.

It's getting a bit hairy here. I've started the third graze on some paddocks this week. I haven't been forced into ground closed for hay or silage. Just about staying ahead of them with grass. 50 x 15 to 26mt olds out on 30 acres. I wont house. Ground like concrete here so will stick in a ring feeder and feed with grass to slow down if needed. Upping meal for the heaviest 20 to get them ready for slaughter thwt bit sooner to slow those on grass. Grass is very dry here almost crisp. They seem to be thriving away on it and cleaning out paddocks very well. I took a chance on sibclair magill grass seed while reseeding over the last few years that performs well in colder conditions into the spring/autumn. Better be lucky than good some times.
