Ewe lambs still surviving on Herbal ley silage but will run out in another week. Hopefully they will be used to eating any silage by then.
This was where the cattle were grazing but they are on full rations now and look ok.
Ewes are suffering but will have to keep hoping that a thunderstorm comes next week!!

Holy feck!
My burns are running dry and a couple of lots of cattle will need moved to find water, but at least we're still green. Even got a nice aftermath on silage fields lifted 4 weeks ago today.
Just to show I can be sensitive, I won't post photos.

Went to a gun shop below Welshpool yesterday and there's a lovely green hue everywhere and even some grass. But here whatever green had come back has gone now. Ewes are eating hay like its going out of fashion. Lambs seem to have enough rough strawy dead grass to go at they're not interested in hay yet.
Bought a molasses feeder yesterday in anticipation of having to do something to try and flush the ewes next month! Lambs are on a Tickle of creep now. 3:1 creep to beet pellets.

I haven’t heard much talk of #forageaid
I wonder if the people that were helped last time and are now getting 4 cuts, will be donating some back.

To be fair 10 miles from me 5th cut is near cutting and is 12-18” tall and looking seriously well where slurry was put on. They also had 75mm 3 weeks ago.
Down here the rabbit sh1t is the tallest part of the field

If you've coped perfectly well every year since 76, but this year is a problem, does that make you overstocked?

Well Walter, I know you always like to post something to wind people up, but least you've taken a different approach this time
Bloody good stuff isn't it!
Thank goodness I lobbed off one field as I felt it would go over before I got to graze it. The rest of the HL look very, very sad. It will interesting to see if they recover.
