Come on Mr F, your near neighbour in Carmthenshire had mowed all his for this weekendRain for Sunday may put a spanner in the works

rich Carmarthenshire farmers splashing the cash. Time will tell if it’s the right thing to hold off but disappointed with early cuts in the past.

Results on foliar have been as dramatic for even less

What foliar mix are you using ?

Pretty calf. What’s the sire?

Seb calf (I think!) sebs so far have been really lovely and stylish, , GTW are strong buggers with loads of width to them, and then the contenders are very black calves, with a touch more grace than the gtw's but with just as much power - contenders are my favourites of the 3

Whatever she is, she's a beaut!

Contender’s dam looks a lovely cow.

Thankyou, the calves I do have are looking really good, it's why I've been so annoyed about losing them, they come out looking amazing and then keel over!
I think I'm going to try hutches for the autumn calving cows and see how I get on. If it goes ok, I can then buy more for next spring.
I'll try and get some photos of the others, I am very pleased with how they're looking

From the photos I've seen, that whole herd look lovely, his dam certainly looks the right type!

IBC's can make cheap hutches just to try. If you like them you can consider proper ones for the spring and if you don't, no money lost.

Same situation here, Hope for the rain that's forecast tonight and then night time temps are looking far better next week so grass should absolutely bounce out the ground
