Final major upgrade to the hoof trimming area showed up yesterday afternoon. Need to finish up some gating but played around with it for an hour yesterday. What a machine!

mowed the lawn, does that count ? We cut 28 march last year, and fed it by june, and to be honest, it was not good, grass overwintered isn't the best of it.I see on fb that in Somerset they have started cutting silage.
Could cut 20 acres to build the ramp if you had surplus.

Whatever you pull down to a ramp will rot. If you can get any loose stuff away then pull plastic over and stack bales against the face. Have to keep the plastic tight against it as you can.How do I seal up my maize heap?
Can I just tidy the face and leave it like a grass clamp or do I need to pull it down to a ramp, roll it and sheet it?
I've lost the Sheet twice this winter and there is quite a bit of waste on top so I'd rather not have to pull it down if I don't need to. Hopefully I won't need it until October now.

cold and wet, but it is drying out, worked some ground for spring barley. At least winter is down to the very last few weeks, but grass isn't moving much yet.
What’s everyone’s soil temp at?

My stone up here looks great but is only in seams and sometimes just disappears.
