26 I think she’ll be at calving

 

[Wishful Thinker]

Does that mean they are normally in doors ?

Yep not enough round yard to graze and a short walk down road involves passing 18houses.

Finished up corn silage last week. A few hours throwing tires between milkings will always show peoples true character!

People will dump these off and not even charge you. About 1/3 of them are uncut 22.5 semi tires.

I did find a sidewall cutter and shredder for sale recently. Might start a side business....

For us, it's not wet for August. August is usually crap anyway. Depending on the weather going forward, if continuing wet then that bit would probably have to be backfenced off on this farm for the next grazing, otherwise you wouldn't be grazing it next spring.

August usually the wettest month of the year for us, not so much number of wet days but the quantity of rain dumped on those days. In a few hours one day this week we've had 45mm, which I suppose is about 10% of our annual rainfall.

My son finished his Genus Ai round 10 days ago on a big farm.
Farmer joked if he’d finished he could join the fun. He stayed on and helped sheet down and was duly rewarded for his efforts and had a very happy customer.
