    i have only cows and calves outside on 4 acre paddock getting silage, the other 50 cattle are still in slats, with plenty of silage left should i leave them where they are. feck all grass yet as sheep and lambs are taking any new growth. is it very late to still have cattle in, i might try and leave it til mid next week and see if weather gets milder. very little growth here (south-west Meath

    Yesterday and today have been showery here in Cork - which is ok.

    But the nights are very cold still, we have had a nice frost both last night and night before - which is doing nothing to help my grass grow... :(

    Awful here and MT's forecast wouldn't inspire you for the next week. Grass is scarce too, plenty of scour this morning aswell in the younger calves.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,378 ✭✭✭✭whelan2


    thunder and hailstones


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,170 ✭✭✭WheatenBriar


    Charmed life down here in SE Wicklow,mostly sunny with one or two fast passing showers so far

    To answer the question a few posts up,I can remember a few inches of snow at sea level in East Wicklow when I was a chap
    The cows were out and we were sent to round them up and in when it showed no signs of stopping
    Yes in May

    Today it's been up to 13c , here anyway when the suns been out,so it could be an awful lot worse

    I remember a shower of hailstones as big as marbles when I working on a golf course in the early 00s in early May. In the minutes after the shower the ground was completely white and I took the opportunity to draw a large penis in the middle of the green in honour of my esteemed colleague who watched me in bemusement as I wrote his name as well. Unfortunately the mixture of temperatures scorched the grass and my artistry could be seen as in the green for several weeks after..
