    Livestock management after the drought

    This thread may be interesting for all types of livestock. I'm kicking off with sheep. I'm in Gloucestershire. Zero grass, unhappy ewes, lambs not growing. No access to any extra grazing. Feed prices doubled....no stock of hay. Can't see the grass recovering for winter 🙈. Does one just accept it...

    Reseeding - Getting it right 2022-08-05

    The main advantage of reseeding grassland is it increases both the quantity and quality of grass grown, by somewhere in the region of 20- 40%, mostly in spring and autumn. At the cost it must be done right. Michael Donoghue, Dairy Advisor, Teagasc Tuam, covers all of the additional benefits here...

    Rewilding horse pastures?

    Why is this never discussed? Why is it always farming land that has to be re-wilded? Is it because a lot of the people who support re-wilding also like horse riding. Surely a hobby shouldn't carry more weight than feeding a nation?

    Will this IRG bulk up now it gone to seed?

    Basically below is our 3rd cut, due to the dry weather has all gone to seed, hardly worth bothering to run a mower over it let alone a contractor. Now that there's a little rain in the forecast will it grow and come to anything? Or does the seed head have to be removed?
