    Went to check the silage ground yesterday and was surprised
    that it bulked up nicely in the last few days. Will chance a few fields this week :)

    Edit: was great to hear the mowers humming away in the distance today :D

    Jeez Muckit we seem to be on the same wavelength at the moment. Similarly mine is starting to head and knock Thursday bale Friday suits me. It's patchy and not that much bulk so 24hr wilt should do it.

    Well this will be going into pit Just do it, so will be two rows grouped into one. No harm to give it the extra bit, especially when the weather is like this. But ya if I was making bales and single rows a good 24hours would do a great job.

    I have noticed a great kill of young docks from my spraying a few weeks ago, but the buttercups don't seem to be wilting, perhaps it takes them longer to die off? I think the spray I used can take up to 3 weeks to show full effect. real test will be how clean the aftergrass comes ;)

    2 bulls that I'm finishing - 1 for breeding the other for factory. I'm running them ahead of the cows so that they have the best of grass. They are really thriving. Getting about 3kg of meal each per day.

    We look right out onto Cairn Hill - Although we are 15 miles away from it.

    The good bull in pic 1 and 4 is off ampertaine commander. (Maternal €199 and terminal €124) so ideal for breeding. The other guy is a bit of a disappointment off Sauvignon - straws were cheap, but there was a huge royalty on them. I got the straw for nothing though!
