First time I've seen a double muscled pheasant. The fella on my farm looks like a famine victim in comparison, I must get my ration tested

Had you it soil tested? I'd have thought the 2500gal of slurry would have P & K covered.

Let sucklers into a field of yellow grass today. It got too wet at the end of last year to graze. Once it's eaten, it's the long acre for me.:D

yes i got it tested and was low in k,last year the silage was very thin and not bulky after just 2500 gallons of slurry,needed more k and after the winter we just had,the slurry on its own is only going to maintain the k levels at the same level if taking silage off.

Vintage Silage making

We cut silage at home for years with one of those side mounted JF's shown at 1min 40s in the video. Some machine!

AntrimGlens · 08-04-2013 03:14PM

Got some heifers out yesterday onto a bit of rough grazing, keeping the silage and meal at them until the brown carpet turns a slighly less colour of brown and maybe green

All home bred haven't bought in anything in years except a stock bull.

Whats the stone your putting on top milton? Looks to be a lot of dust in it

Damo810 · 11-04-2013 10:10PM

Anyone been to the marts recently? How are yearling heifers/Bulls going? We might have a few off soon if theres any decent trade, roughly 300Kg-350Kg..

Thats just some 2" all in, we ran into a very soft spot when digging and needed to build up the bottom of the drain a bit to get it level. We didn't put any stone on top of the pipe.

I hope this works out for you. From photos, it doesn't seem like you've gone down far. Will there just be stock on this? Would you be worried about machinery or stock damaging the pipe or upsetting the levels?

Seems to be a lot of lads draining wet spots this spring. Been ideal for it.

Username John · 12-04-2013 12:07PM

Yesterday seemed to be the first day where the ewes and lambs weren't perished looking, instead they were lying enjoying the evening sun...

Made a very pleasant change

Hopefully the bit of heat we're getting will stay, badly need grass... After this field, there isn't much to go, and they wont last too long more there... (and as you can see, some are a thin

)

Funny you bring that up Muckit. I'd to get my digger man to go back for more depth. He didn't feel it was needed but I felt the deeper the better. Probably site dependant I suppose.

Well they reckon anything less than 2' deep can be impacted on by machinery. On the other hand drain near the surface will do the job in bog ground which is supposed to have low permability. Cattle bogging in that photo you'd imagine could damage pipe. If they don't it should be a good job
