Been knocking fence posts in today. Plenty of rain at the weekend sure does help with that.

 

[Cows 'n grass]

Not so bad out there now.

A vast improvement in the weather this afternoon. Spring sunshine after a dull weekend. Good afternoon for a walk around the fields checking

the mole traps.

 

[Manney]

Not a bad evening down here either

[Durry cows]

Cows were out here this morning from 9 til 12 grazed this down well in that time as sent out hungry, ate about 7kgdm each (I think) it absolutely chucked it down on them!!

Its been a bloody miserable day here, gale force winds and horizontal rain. At least I don't have to go out and round up the cows i suppose.

[Holsteinfriesian90]

Why are they selling?

No idea. Thought someone might know.

 

[dinderleat]

Served this lovely irresistible heifer calved at 23 months hopefully calve again for her second at 34months

Plenty to choose from.

 

[Rossymons]

Plenty to choose from.

Absolutely. They'll be years ahead of any crossbreeding I'm doing now.
