As you say, you may have more forage than you thought.
Fingers crossed for you, anyway.

I had to do it back in July and was pretty nervous to say the least but in the end we lost 23 out of the 800+ we tested so only 2.8% which was a lot less than I'd feared.
We had to do gamma one week and skin the following week so everything had both. Of the gamma reactors 2 had VL and both were widespread with head, throat, chest and lung lesions but neither showed anything on the skin test so i do feel it was worth doing in my case.

We cut the silage bale out we were feeding to the milker's this weekend thinking they had enough grass 
tonight they are not happy so will have to start again tomorrow.

You've had it good, our main spring dried up 2 months ago. Mains burst a fitting under the concrete which took me a month to find. Mains is only quarter in pipe so had to connect to an old well half mile outside the system which suprisingly is still going.
Not looking forward to the water bill!

sh!t couple of days here, cut grass Wednesday, expecting three dry days and rain weeknd as that is what BBC man said, ended up with heavy rain Thursday,raked and baled Friday, as had pitched off, then daughter in Minor Injuries, so don't Finnish baling till early Saturday, ewes lambing, cows calving, problems with wrapper only just finished wrapping, stacking from Friday/sat baling, bales very green and heavy and hot, imagine it's a heap of sh!t from what should of been good winter grub! Half fancy selling all the gear, but then as wife said first two cuts went smoothly, just not enough bales, cant win.

Chin up lads !!! It will all work out in the end !!
I had a minor winge at the tanker driver (only a small one ) about the letter the dairy sent us !
How we had been under pressure with the weather
About how we can produce all we want from now on without any over profile penalties !!
They neglected to say how short they are to fulfil cheese orders maybe and how they need the milk to expand !! Perhaps a .25 p incentive ,might have worked wonders , the tight buggers !!

Forecast was all to pot this week. I was away on Thursday and was very surprised when wife told me it was raining when she phoned. Expected rain yesterday but it came to nothing. Sprayed OSR today so now up to date with the sprayer
