Your weather is never what I think it will be looking at forecasts. We've just had 3 fabulous lambing’s in a row at the end of March, but Aprils seem to knock everything back. Got plenty of grass in the sheltered valleys but very slow on the tops. Spring barley been in nearly 3 weeks and still not up. Beginning to get to the stage of what is normal.We had 64mm rain March (should had had double that!), and 17mm so far in April. It's been far too dry. March was warm and cold at same time but things seemed ok and the grass was shifting but April has been very cold so far and the place looks/feels bleak. Fields are pale/sick looking
We need a good week of mild, wet days to get things on track but I fear another drought is coming - either that or summer will be torrential rain. There won't be an in-between
Hows the lambing weather been with you @gators girl . Seen earlier you've only got 60 out. Is that weather or lack of time. Great to have so much shed space so you can choose.
