Cold night time temperatures and now lack of moisture are having a marked effect now. The grass looks stale and sick after romping away a month ago, done nothing since.
Whats stalling your grass growth?

Where there is cover the grass is growing, but a reduced rate.
Anywhere where white lice or has been taken down tight by cattle is struggling.
Looking down in valley at some grazed paddocks that have had frost and they have that yellow tinge like they have had a splash of roundup!

Was just frost and lack of warmth to begin with but now I'm sure it's lack of moisture, too!
Sure we'll get the rain, right when we want to start hay making probably....

I'm not getting too worried, yet!
Mrs Whitepeak is itching to turn all the cows out, but I keep reminding her that it's still only mid April and we could still have snow! The fact it's warm and dry is what's making her want them out. End of April/beginning of May is usually when most cows go out up here.
It is very dry, only 13mm so far in April, however March and Feb were about average.

not here thankfully, we just need it to warm up as there is plenty of moisture under the cover, having said that I don't think it will warm up properly till we get a southwesterly and it will rain then anyway

Got an accidentally on purpose leak from the spring water trough, but that's not producing much mud, yet.

You forgot to add a low pH option @Sid
A dry April and a wet May fills the barns with straw and hay.
It’ll be reet
what does a dry April and May do?
