Take the fence down and let them down onto the beach to eat some seaweed.

We were up around 2800 for awhile plus replacements. Cut numbers in the past 8 months though.
How big are your paddocks?
Most of our farm size I suspect.

About 25 acres. It’s two separate farms mind.
No grass to look at as it's a drought, so bugger the cows and go for a walk along the cliffs
Next stop America/Canadian border

They're are some benefits to long sunny days and sulking about the lack of rain doesn't make it come any quicker.

1st cut on the deck, pick up tomorrow.
This probably the heaviest crop, 4th year ley, only 2 cuts + grazing last year, then good dose of muck last autumn.
First year new seeds, planted late Sept last year in incredibly dry conditions. took an awful long time to get going. Our 4 year leys never get any herbicide, we put the white clover in the seedbed, rather than spraying out weeds and stitching in clover in first year, which seems a waste of a year of the ley. Usually get a few docks by the end of 4 years but never any major issues. Usually masses of clover by the end of its term!

I’ll give you a wave as I’m passing by in my new toy. Will see plenty of the North Devon and Cornwall coast this summer now.
