    Rushes sprayed about a week ago, they seem to have got a good hit.

    I'm gauging 380ish atm. I can tell you for sure if test goes ok next week and we get him sold after it.

    Sky is weird because I got a new phone and I haven't worked out how to set the camera correctly:o

    Great work. You'll need more stock to eat all the extra grass next year!

    Looks good how many weeks since you cut them, sprayed mine after four weeks, don't think they were all up, might spray again in another four.....its only 2acre rough ground ...do it with the quad

    About 6 weeks ago, another graze and a topping hope to hit in spring agen hopefully be fairly thin by then.

    Yep MCPA first time to use it, with a bottle of washing up liquid as a sticking agent (trick I learnt on boards)

    Looks like I sprayed a bit early, green shoots appearing, will they be too strong by the spring I wonder, they'd definitely be all up
    Used the washin up liquid too
    Just seen you're topping again in the spring before spraying,

    Might be worth trying to do it this year if you can. They are growing like mad this year. You could nearly see them grow!

    Yea that's what's annoying me, probably will spray it, quad will work even if ground conditions deteriorate

    Are you the first man to bring a Hurley to west Clare? You wouldn't want to show up at the KIB pitch with it or you'll be banned outta there for life :D

    Earlier I posted a pic of a bull calf from a maternal bull. Here is a calf the same age out of a terminal bull (queenshead altea). Big difference between the two calves

    I hear you on that one. Maybe we'd be better off just going with terminal and paying well for replacements. I'd prefer to have a closed herd though
