I know I should measure grass but I don't, but I do walk or drive the whole grazing platform every Wednesday afternoon, making notes and writing a 2 week plan.
In the last week grass growth here has gone from phenomenal at last week's walk to negligible at this week's walk.
Rain now please.

Glad I'm not the only one with a "lax" attitude to grass measurement.
I measure it religiously up to about Royal Cornwall time. Then it gets hot, cows dry off so less demand for what grass their is then I'm calving then its October so what's the point? But I do have a pair of eyes and Jack Russell that needs walking so she'll do instead.

That's one of the famous red and white heifers that were for sale on here, 3rd calver now and one of the better ones. Calf's a Norwegian red (nymoen).
Yeah that's my house ideal for keeping an eye on the calvers this time of year don't even need to go outside!!

I like Ayrshires few and far between now though. Are you aiming for a 3 way cross?
Yeah ideally but have a wide range of different cows in the herd at the moment so just tend to serve each cow to whatever I feel will improve them the most
