Your current weather.

Mid Cornwall, av field size less than 5ac, 3or 4 cows to a field don't do much harm in a normal year.
Just sitting out a very heavy shower, rain dancing off the tractor bonnet

3mm overnight. Still blowing a very strong wind with intermittent light rain. Normally such a small amount of rain wouldn’t matter but this year it’s back to slop on top.
Sheep OK so far. Not lambing till April. Been some useful grass growth on the block of IRG although this cold spell has slowed it.

We couldn’t normally put out any till the middle of April. As even a cow and calf would chop us up to nothing before then hence the question

Damp and drizzling also New moon today
I hate to think the amount spring seed sat on farms would be let alone the pile of unplanted winter , written off chunks now which won’t be planted or replanted , hopeful on winter ploughed stuff which has water laid in between furrows in places , squeaky bum time for a hole manner of farms and related trades , the next two weeks will dictate a hole lot across the country
March in this part of the country last year was a horrendous spell of wet weather (hellish lambing spell) very little would of been planted until early April

Sunny Saturday here was completely undone by steady 8mm on seen on Sunday.
Cold and grey today, and 3mm forecast for Tuesday.
Possibility of 15 degrees from Thursday- one to hold out for...

I've learnt how to interpret XC forecasts now - about a week out if they predict rain it usually comes true, they'll change it again to no rain a few days out then on the day the original forecast comes backDull, misty and cold, 6c, only 3mm over the weekend, forecast seems to be all over the place, XCWeather giving an almost dry week here
I still use them though, in conjunction with google and bbc
