What's your slurry/fodder situation?

Ok for fodder for I'd say 6 weeks at least slurry is a disaster and a pain in the hole. Buts being done with pipes around here to relive lads a bit but they are still messing with then never mind tankers. Hopefully things will improve shortly

Loads of fodder until June, but slurry is starting to become an issue. Have about 2 weeks left in the tanks, and only put a few loads out in Feb. Ground is the biggest issue. It was coming right a bit up to Monday last week, back to square one again

I the same as @Hershall put cattle out last Saturday only for them to come in Monday evening.

Enough Silage till May hopefully. Slurry is fine for a month. Straw is a problem. Probably have to calve the last 5/10 cows outside in a few weeks and keep the remaining straw for calves.

I have gone through a lot of silage. But had 60 bales and had a nice bit of a pit left from last year. Some of it 3 years old, grand stuff. So should be ok.

Emptied the tanks here in January. So have a couple of weeks left.

These types of years you just have to farm according to the weather. Whether cutting silage or spreading slurry or grazing ground in autumn. You have to farm when you get the chance.

7 days feed here, have to buy some bales. Reducing back 40 cows due to rent prices and nitrates. Hopefully cull some of the underperformers ( prob should have last year instead). Slurry 2 weeks and ok for straw.

Ok for feed here too. Got tanks emptied the end of Jan, should be ok but they are filling up nicely too again. I do see alot of bales moving in the last week or two. Seems to be plenty of fodder out there from what I see and I believe it's not gone mad in price yet. €35 would buy you a good bale.

Weather is improving for the next 10 days, still light showers but at leasts the apocliptic floads have stopped for now.

Plenty feeding, I usually have 2 months buffer from winter to winter. Slats are full and I dropped them down about 2 foot but had to throw the slurry into the feild off the road

About 7-10 days feed left, probably 2 weeks left in the tank. Got a good bit of slurry out the week it opened up in Jan. straw getting very tight also. Going to start letting out some of the smaller cattle tomorrow

Our contractor got some watery slurry spread outta the lagoon with the umbilical pipes in Jan. We've been transferring slurry from the two slatted tanks into the lagoon over the past two weeks but it's filling up fast with all the rain. We swap round bales of silage with wbs from a dairy farmer friend and so far we are ok for feed. We have plenty of straw and hay for calves and the suckler springers.

Tanks emptied last week. Would be in serious trouble if not done. Will probably sell bales. Have enough straw.

Neighbour keeps no cattle for winter - let me put 7 tankerfuls in open slurry pit ( keeping the slurry as he sells silage off the field and this will go out on that). Good deal of silage left BUT a lot contaminated with clay and dirt - normally cut my own but let contractor cut and rake outside place. Only having hay built up over a few years (all gone ) and bales of silage from last year would have been a disaster. Dumping some bales whole as you know as soon as plastic comes off what they're like, even good looking bales have to drop them away from cattle and fork it in bit by bit to pick out bad bits.

Undoubtedly weather has been exceptionally bad for almost 9 months now. Leave aside last year, the first 2 & a half months of this year are not that unusual. We've been here before.

Never have much good weather of note till holy week.if we do, it's usually not a good omen for later on.not long to wait now anyway till then.

10 days feeding left, ok on slurry storage

Letting out 8 of the heaviest on a dry section 2mor, good grass cover on & that'll stretch the silage that's left.

I knew I'd be tight but housing 3 weeks early last year caught me.....soya hulls either side of Xmas has gained me a good bit

It would be much easier to give the full bale to the cattle and let them sort the good from the bad; they will have no trouble knowing one from the other.
