Dam you I was getting really worried then!!! Fences are on my to do list this week but never have much joy putting too many paddocks out too early as they just run straight through

we are on heavy land so it won't take much + gale force winds = cows under the hedge or making a mess. pragmatic man rules

I know I thought about maybe turning the milkers out, amazing what a days sunshine does. Then I gave my self a slap and remembered its February it's not normally like this and we will pay for this nice weather.

How come they run through? Is there not enough kick in the fence?

Can see where you block calving guys are coming from, yesterday was lovely and warm with the sunshine here, all my milk cows were stood outside looking over the gate to field...
... but it's still covered in sheep that are on for winter grazing, they were suppose to be off on 1st of Feb and only on the silage ground not the pastures (apperantly they escaped, how convenient) now he's says they going on 1st of March, any longer and I'll have to be lambing them for him(which I did have to one year)

Meanwhile, back in my world. I would just like the fog to lift for a day so I could actually see a field....

sheep in general
any extra income generated is just spent on keeping cows in longer

Open the gate and let them into the neighbours or something, anything! they are eating your profit/cash/next years feed/cheap milk etc.Can see where you block calving guys are coming from, yesterday was lovely and warm with the sunshine here, all my milk cows were stood outside looking over the gate to field...

Massive kick through the fence it's just they tend to run around like idiots and straight through it. We normally send them into a nice big field plenty of space for the first grazing to let them get it out of their system and then it all cools down to some proper grazing.
