    A neighbour grazed 80 ewes on the silage ground here for three weeks in the spring.
    What would be a fair price to get off him, first time doing that.

    It'd be a valuable time if it was after lambing, if they were suckling he'd have to give them 1 to 1.5 kg meal/day to replace good grass if he didn't have it.
    He was lucky to have it, especially this year, there was no grass anywhere..
    I'd imagine the grass took a while to recover as well after them.
    Dry ewes in january, you'd be alright at 10 -15c/day, They'd only eat half what a suckling ewe would eat

    10c a day is 170, 15c is 250. Somewhere in between is fair enough

    They were dry ewes carrying singles.
    I’ll ask him for €200 worth of straw, i’d be happy with that if he has some to spare.

    Last silage of 2020 made today, a few acres of heavier ground I wouldn't risk cutting last week. So 43 more bales added to the pile for next winter.

    We headed to an U16 hurling final the second lad was in today, unfortunately they lost after extra time.

    We had to laugh when the ref gave a free against him for a push in the back even though he was ahead of the player he was supposed to have pushed. His marker even gave him the ball for the free against him and was a bit bewildered when he realised the free was for him.:D

    EAT Lancet chair acknowledges that Grass based livestock are good for the planet.

    https://twitter.com/herdyshepherd1/status/1307738668338216960

    How much damage was done in the meantime especially our own who has digging in at our grass based production here.
    Maybe finally work can now begin to double down on carbon sequestration with livestock playing a key role.

    They've had to retract their horns a good bit in the recent past because of all the positive attributes of grasslands and ruminants on them coming more to the fore.

    The next two or three years are going to be rather difficult for anti ruminant agitators, I think.

    Any farmer with livestock and anyone that turned a sod knew the benefits livestock make to the soil.

    How people believed tillage was ever good for the planet is beyond me.

    But as always it's not one good one bad.
    Tillage is bad for soil. No till is good.
    Livestock in the main are good. It's how that animal is managed and how the food for that animal is grown really dictates how the soil microbes react and how they fix more carbon.

    Finally though we've moved beyond livestock bad, plants good.

    Ain't it quare how someone with a spikey haircut had so much power on the world..

    A new series of ' What planet are you on?' is on RTE 1. Just caught a glance as I passed through the kitchen. The voiceover was bemoaning the carbon footprint of the meat and milk some family had.

    Apparently that Marco Springmann on that was getting funding from EAT.

    North Korean tv has nothing on RTE.

    Was there restrictions on people attending the match?

    "Livestock is not the problem, the current number and our overconsumption of meat in high income countries is. Grass fed, free ranged animals are part of healthy ecosystems. Factory farms are as bad as coal fired power plants for the ðŸŒ, and a health and aminal welfare problem."

    She still stated that the current number of livestock and over consumption of meat is a problem. I don't trust them.
