    Another fine evening..... Cork airport said 30 yday. A good drop falling now with sun/ mon not looking great either. Will prob house spring in calf heifers, use calves to graze the rest altho some covers a bit strong but autumn calves should manage it. If weather came right I could graze whole farm in Oct and shut up shop then.

    I drove to Portarlington yesterday afternoon and the rain didn't let up until the return journey home. I saw round bales of barley straw in greening tillage fields and they were sprouting :( Surely if the straw was baled dry the bales would dry out in a shed if they were stacked on their ends with free airflow. There maybe some waste on the outer ring but the rest should be good.
    BTW is there an Island in Walsh Island as I kept seeing road signs. It must be a fierce popular place.

    An island of land surrounded by bog. The great Connor clan and Willy Bryan all played football for the Island. The only Offaly club ever to win 6 senior football titles in a row 1979-1983 including two Leinster club titles. There were none better than Matt Connor on the football field.

    Couldn't open the velux anymore or office would be destroyed. Mix of hail and extremely heavy drops of rain.

    I see they're saying on the weather forum that the hail was as big as marbles in some parts of Galway.

    Wouldn't like to be driving on the motorway in that.

    We were lucky here today with a good drying day.
    Expect to be grazing the reseed here on Tuesday or Wednesday.

    Heavy showers all fecking day here, getting serious this supposed dry spell doesn't come next week sin è. Brought spring heifer calves back and put them on a silage field the cows won't be able to graze as too wet, have em fenced into a couple of acres on the upper side where there seemed to be a few semi dry patches and shelter by trees.

    Going threw 3 bales of silage a day here the past month to keep the cows ticking over, still motoring and doing 2 kgs/ms a day but grass is only making up a little bit over a third of the diet with 6 kgs of meal going in as well, incalf heifers have another 3 weeks left out max and the same for weanling heifers, going to be a long winter but made a heap of silage I thought I'd never need but glad of it now

    No real rain here today. Twas drizzling a bit earlier alright but it's warm enough day for the last day of September with a gentle breeze. Not that it will make much of a difference, Ground is in Sh1te.
